(OCTOBER 18, 2024) WVNY-TV reported on the October 18 White Coat Ceremony for the Larner College of Medicine’s Class of 2028. UVM’s White Coat Ceremony is part of a long-standing national ritual that welcomes students into the medical world. The white coats represent the responsibility students now carry as scientists, researchers and caregivers.
Opening remarks were offered by Larner Dean Richard L. Page, M.D., and UVM Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Isabel Desjardins, M.D., both of whom spoke to the core tenants of medicine in their speeches—rigor, compassion, integrity, and respect. Class of 2028 medical students Kate Williams, Mackenzie Lim, and Savan Goli shared their perspectives on the significance of the ceremony.
Page says this is the seventh ceremony he has led. “It’s an amazing day. To see these young people as they reach this point in their career and take this next step is an honor for me.”
