Fourteen years ago, NOVA began following seven Harvard Medical School students as they started a long and rigorous journey to become doctors. In three separate installments, NOVA follows the evolution of these seven as they progress from medical students
to practitioners.
Tattooed Doctor:
records Tom Tarter's work as an emergency room doctor addressing acutely ill people's immediate safety needs rather than being concerned with longer-term health management.
conveys that, regardless of background, anyone with commitment and determination can become a doctor.
Second Opinions:
chronicles internist Jane Liebschutz, ophthalmologist David Friedman, and former practicing pediatrician Cheryl Dorsey's earliest days in medical school.
poses the ongoing question of whether these doctors would do it again and whether the singular dedication their training required was worth it.
Hearts and Minds:
traces the medical school struggles of psychiatrist Jay Bonnar, anesthesiologist Elliott Bennett-Guerrero, and cardiologist Luanda Grazette.
chronicles the different medical approaches and styles that these three doctors practice daily.
