SOM Class of 2029 Officially Don Their White Coats for the First Time

First-year Medical Students Marked a Major Milestone in Their Medical School Journey During the White Coat Ceremony

The School of Medicine (SOM) Class of 2029 marked the first major milestone in their medical school journey as they officially donned their white coats for the first time during the White Coat Ceremony on October 17 at the Performing Arts Center at Purchase College, State University of New York. The ceremony, now in its 29th year at New York Medical College (NYMC), was initially established in 1993 at Columbia University by Arnold P. Gold, M.D., a world-renowned pediatric neurologist, to emphasize the importance of humanism in medicine, beginning at the start of medical school.
