Future Docs
Series produced by Kristin Espeland Gourlay
Future Docs is a regional Edward R. Murrow award-winning radio and online documentary project that follows two second year students through a year of medical school. These "future docs" are in training at a time when when our health care system is undergoing massive change. Can medical schools adapt quickly enough to train the next generation of doctors? Future Docs peeks through the window of two students' experiences to learn how medical schools and our major graduate medical education system is adapting to this seismic shift.
Why follow two future doctors? Well, health care as we know it is transforming. We’re moving from a doctor-centered, fee-for-service system to a more patient-centered, pay-for-quality way of doing things. Plus, we as a nation are transforming, too. We’re growing older and sicker, and scientific advances are emerging all the time to help prolong our lives. The bottom line: tomorrow’s doctors will need to know how to navigate a brand new world.So how is medical education adapting? Find out, through the eyes of two future docs, Sarah and Peter. Follow them for a school year as they master the body's systems, encounter the nation's complex health care system, flirt with specialties, and try to keep sane despite the mounting stress.There are 10 pieces in the series, plus a one hour...
