of the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital, Zach Braff, is an intern at the start of the series, who eventually becomes a full-fledged surgical resident. After finishing his training in the sixth-season finale "My Lunch Date," he was promoted to fellow at Sacred Heart Hospital, where he works alongside Dr. Cox (Donald Faison).
Six months into his fellowship, he left Sacred Heart to pursue his dream of writing movies.
