|
Program Overview
|
|
|
The first part of this series chronicled the progress of seven students at
Harvard Medical School. This program revisits those students to follow their
first three years after graduation. In addition to presenting their
professional growth and development, the program also documents how their
career choice has affected the personal lives of these young doctors.
During the three years of internship and residency, doctors gain experience in
their chosen specialty. Each of the doctors in the program expresses different
reasons for choosing medicine as a career, and for choosing a particular
specialty within the field. They also work through the stresses and challenges
of the job. They try to achieve a balance of work and personal life as they
proceed through their first years in the profession.
