Get the final update on the seven doctors NOVA documented for 21 years.
Over 21 years, NOVA followed a group of seven doctors from their first day at Harvard Medical School in 1987. All young, bright and accomplished, none of them could have predicted what it would take, personally and professionally, to become a member of the medical tribe. NOVA’s cameras were there through the difficult years of classes and clinical training, internship and residency, marriage and divorce — documenting the trials and tribulations as these individuals struggled to become doctors and to balance time at work and at home. Candid in-depth interviews give viewers a real sense of what each person has to deal with day in and day out since he or she made the decision to practice medicine. In this special two-part program, NOVA returns one last time to get an update on the kind of doctors — and people — they have become.
