School of Medicine And Public Health Scientists Coated In Joint Ceremony
|
The white coat has long symbolized a rite of passage for medical students. Now the same can be said about Hopkins' budding scientists.
On Friday, Sept. 4, 2015, 72 Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health graduate students were recognized for the successful completion of their Doctoral Board Oral Examinations with a celebratory white coat ceremony and reception.
"This white coat ceremony [marks] the transition from course work and those basic program requirements to actually doing research and being more of a scientist," said Amanda Edward, a biomedical engineering graduate student.
The event, led by
Peter Espenshade
,Ph.D., the Associate Dean of Graduate Biomedical Education for the School of Medicine, and
Roy Ziegelstein
, M.D., M.A.C.P., the School of Medicine's Vice Dean of Education, marked the first annual coating ceremony for the School of Public Health, the second coating ceremony for the School of Medicine graduate students and the first time both schools would come together to honor the budding scientists.
"My advice to you is to work hard; have a lot of fun; and in the process, get these beautiful white coats dirty," said Espenshade, and the crowd burst into laughter.

The CAP celebration included musical selections by Ultrasounds, with current medical students Kate Pearson and Christine Shrock on the violin.
|
Happy Anniversary! The Colleges Advisory Program is now 10 years old. The School of Medicine celebrated this milestone on Sept. 9 in the Anne and Mike Armstrong Medical Education Building with shared stories and reflections.
"The Colleges Program is one of the fundamental pillars of student life at Hopkins, allowing students to interact across the 4+ years, enjoy longitudinal advising, and providing wellness-centered activities and events that make medical school more relaxing and enjoyable," said Juan
Muñoz, a fourth-year medical student. "Personally, it has been the thing that I have enjoyed most about being at Hopkins. I hope the program continues to grow and support students for years to come."
Prior to its founding in September 2005, SOM students expressed a strong desire for enduring relationships with faculty, as well as assistance navigating the complex "road map" of a career in medicine.
The program offers students opportunities for faculty and peer advising, mentoring and enhancements in an informal learning environment at the School of Medicine. Students are organized into four colleges, each named after a legendary and inspiring Hopkins faculty member: Daniel Nathans, Florence Sabin, Helen Taussig and Vivien Thomas.
