Plot Synopsis

THE RESIDENT is a one-hour medical drama series that focuses on a young doctor's final years of training, ripping back the curtain and revealing the truth of what really happens -- both good and bad -- at the fictional Chastain Park Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, GA. The series opens with Dr. Devon Pravesh on his first day as an intern at Chastain, where third-year resident Dr. Conrad Hawkins takes him under his wing to teach his unconventional ways for treating patients. Meanwhile, Conrad goes head to head with Dr. Randolph Bell, the Chief of Surgery, who uses power and intimidation to cover up his mistakes.

They're joined by: Dr. Lane Hunter, the top oncologist in the state of Georgia; Dr. Mina Okafor, a Nigerian rising surgical star recently trained on a new device that could redefine surgery; Claire Thorpe, the tough and pragmatic CEO of Chastain; and Renata Morali, the savvy and elegant head of marketing.
