A century-old tradition, the Second Year Show allows Medical School students to unwind by turning a satiric eye on the faculty and curriculum. Programs, posters, scripts, photographs, and audio and video recordings from the productions are preserved with the institutional archives, as part of the documentation of the student experience at HMS.

While the program's cover art satirizes the Rembrandt painting, The anatomy lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, the title of the show makes reference to the 1988 WGBH production, Can we make a better doctor?
