Learning to care for and working with patients will be a vital part of your medical education. As you enter medical school, you will start seeing patients right away.

This comes with high expectations our school takes seriously. In preparation, we also have students recite the Declaration of Geneva at our White Coat ceremony, just as you will do at the end of your medical training.

You will have a real opportunity to have a positive impact on the life of a patient, their family, our communities – and through education and research, the entire field of Medicine.
There are few other professions where you have the opportunity to have such a far-reaching positive impact on humankind – and while that comes with tremendous responsibility, it also brings immense fulfillment.
A.R. Curreri Distinguished Chair, Department of Surgery
