Surrounded by the blessings and witnessing of many, our White Coat Ceremony has come to a successful conclusion. For those of us about to begin our clinical clerkships, this was more than just a ritual; it was a solemn declaration of our lifelong mission.

As our mentors draped the white coats over our shoulders and placed the stethoscopes around our necks, it symbolized the passing of the medical spirit and its profound responsibilities. This coat carries the weight of countless sleepless nights spent studying, yet it also reflects the thirst for medical truth in our eyes.

We are deeply grateful to our teachers for being the guiding lights on our path, and to our families for their silent support. May the future doctors of the Class of 28 always hold a profound reverence for life and remain true to our original calling as healers in the complex world of medicine.
