|
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.
