THE CALLING: A MEDICAL SCHOOL JOURNEY follows the intellectual and emotional journey of a group of students at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx. Captured through verité scenes and personal video diaries, the film offers a rare inside look at America’s health care system through the eyes of these aspiring practitioners as they learn what it takes to become a doctor in one of the country’s most underserved communities. Filmed over the course of a year, the film Journey follows the students as they share the humbling challenges they face, their crises of self-doubt and exhaustion, and the moments of encouragement that inspire them to go on.
