Extracting buckshot from a hunter’s head in a mosquito-infested tent at the edge of a swamp before your morning coffee isn’t the best way to start your day. But that’s reality when you sign up at Hard Rock Medical. Instructed by a charismatic and diverse medical faculty, eight students at the ficional Borealis College of Medicine are initiated into medicine in the most "hands on" way possible in Canadian Shield country. Modeled on a real Canadian Medical school.
