White Coat Ceremony

Please join the UCF College of Medicine for its annual White Coat Ceremony, a meaningful tradition in which the medical school welcomes first-year students as colleagues dedicated to patient care. On August 6, each of UCF’s 100 new M.D. students – the class of 2016 -- will be “coated” in front of faculty, family and friends by Dr. Deborah German, vice president for medical affairs and dean of the College of Medicine. With this year’s class, the medical school’s enrollment has increased from 40 to 280 students in just three years.

Date:
Monday, August 6, 2012
10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
