Objectives
1. “Doctors Diaries” gives students a
realistic look at a field in health care. Shot
over the course of 21 years, Doctor's
Diaries begin in 1987, as a group of bright
young students prepares to meet the
challenges of the world's premiere medical
school. From classes to clinical training
through internship, residency, marriage,
and divorce, these seven individuals
struggle to balance their work and studies
while starting families and, eventually,
launching their careers. Candid interviews
and revealing footage highlights the
sacrifices that medical students make to
accomplish their goals, and provides a
revealing glimpse into their personal and
professional lives.
2. Students study the history and current
state of our health care system when they
study the Affordable Care Act and
Medicare history on an online webquest
from the US department of Health and
Human Services
