In a futuristic world, and after a global pandemic, humanity is left battered and desperate. A series of revolutionary decisions leads to the establishment of specialized training programs for teenagers to fill critical gaps in various fields—engineers and software professionals, young researchers, and more. Among these initiatives, for the first time, The School for Young Doctors is established with the aim of training teenagers to become fully qualified physicians by the age of 18. This bold move seeks to address the dire shortage of healthcare professionals and alleviate grave fears of another pandemic outbreak.
Mia, Eric, Jonathan, Naomi, and Blake are 14-year-olds who find themselves at the threshold of one of the most intense and exhilarating journeys imaginable—training to become doctors. Each of them knows they hold a unique talent, one that could enable them to bear the immense challenges ahead and emerge as young medical professionals, ready to face an uncertain and demanding future.
The first book in the series follows the first year of medical school—a journey that begins with one of the most daunting experiences: anatomy lessons and dissections in the cadaver lab. From there, it delves into the essential foundations every doctor must master: how to deliver difficult news, manage a mass casualty event, support a chronically ill patient, and memorize thousands of pages for exams.
During this year, the students won't just learn the basics of being a doctor. They will also come to know themselves deeply, experiencing moments of excitement, love, and profound personal growth. It is a year that will transform them, preparing them for a new reality that they must navigate and embrace in just a few short months.
