Description: "Becoming a Doctor" portrays the arc of a doctor's life, from a medical student's first encounter with a cadaver to an intern's reliance on dance during a gruelling year in an inner-city hospital and an experienced doctor's ruminations on what it means to really listen to a patient's story.
