Class of 2020 Medical Students to Receive White Coats June 16

The University of South Alabama College of Medicine will host its annual White Coat Ceremony at 10 a.m. June 16, 2018, at the USA Mitchell Center. During the ceremony, rising third-year medical students in the Class of 2020 will be cloaked with their white coats, the traditional dress of physicians for more than 100 years.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. John V. Marymont, vice president for medical affairs and dean of the USA College of Medicine.

Select students from the class of 2020, along with residents and faculty members, will be inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society during the ceremony. Inductees are selected by outgoing third-year medical students for practicing patient-centered medical care with altruism, integrity and compassion.

Each year, the USA Medical Alumni Association sponsors this event.
