The White Coat Ceremony for MD’23 took place in October.
Donning the white coat for the first time is a seminal moment in every physician’s training. For the past two years, when students at the Warren Alpert Medical School slip their hands into their new coat’s pocket, they find a congratulatory note submitted by an alum, faculty member, or other member of the community. These anonymous missives offer good wishes, congratulations, and like the one pictured above, sage advice.
