Three-Year Track White Coat Ceremony

On February 12, 2020, proud and excited, 44 students from the three-year track (those having returned from medical schools abroad) received their white coats in the famed "White Coat Ceremony" traditionally held at medical schools. These students comprise the 9th graduating class of the Bar-Ilan University Azrieli Faculty of Medicine. Offering warm greetings and congratulations were Prof. Karl Skorecki, Dean; Prof. Eric Shinwell, Associate Dean, Medical Education; and Prof. Johnny Younis, Vice Dean, Clinical Studies. A representative of the parents association also came to the podium to express her thoughts.

In addition to the speeches, a short film was shown and the students participated in a musical performance (pictures can be seen here).

Refreshments were served, and souvenirs were distributed, to make sure everyone went home from the momentous evening with tangible memories above and beyond the white coat.

After such an intensive period of studies, the evening, shared by family members and friends, was warm, welcoming, and positive, excitedly looking forward to the next stage of medical education and training.
