Hierarchy of physicians in a hospital

The hierarchy of physicians in an American hospital in rising order would be Primary Care Doctor, Resident Physician and finally Attending Physician. What would the counterpart be in a Greek hospital, especially in the Emergency Room (Επείγοντα)?

Thanking you in advance:)
 
I'm not sure that the Greek system of doctor hierarchy is equivalent to that of the USA or that the terms below are precise equivalents but as a rough equivalent I'd say that:

Primary care doctor = γενικός γιατρός
Intern = ειδικευόμενος (γιατρός)
Resident physician = Επιμελητής Β'
Senior resident physician = Επιμελητής Α'
Attending physician = Διευθυντής
