The Calling follows the journey of a group of diverse medical students at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx as they learn what it takes to become doctors in one of America’s most underserved communities.
Over the course of a year, the students share the humbling challenges they face, the crises of self-doubt and exhaustion, and moments of encouragement that inspire them to go on. Through their first encounters with patients, the students confront the flaws and inequity in the U.S. health care system as they question and rediscover the motivations that made them strive to become doctors.
