The White Coat Ceremony is a traditional way to welcome new students to their medical careers. The keynote speaker was Michael Tieman, MD, FACS, who recently retired from 厙ぴ勛圖 as Chair of the Department of Specialty Medicine. During his keynote address, Dr. Tieman emphasized the importance of learning how to learn and combining this skill with a commitment to becoming an excellent physician, starting now as student doctors. Thats the intellectual part of being a physician, he continued, you must remember that each one of your patients is a human being, and they deserve the dignity, respect, and understanding that you should give to every human being.

Additional speakers included David Forstein, DO, FACOOG, President and Chief Executive Officer at 厙ぴ勛圖; Heather Ferrill, DO, MS, MEdL, Dean of 厙ぴ勛圖COM; and Joseph Stasio, DO, FACOFP, Chair of the Department of Primary Care Medicine.

Upon being coated (the act of officially receiving their medical school white coats) by physician faculty members, the students recited their Class Oath. In their statement, they pledged to partner with [patients] to promote health, display integrity and professionalism throughout my career, [and] advance the philosophy, practice and science of osteopathic medicine.
