MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - It was a major milestone for students at the University of South Alabama’s College of Medicine Friday as 80 future doctors received their white coats.
They will soon start clinicals, working in hospitals with real patients and applying what they know in a whole new way.
It’s a rite of passage for medical students dating back to the early 1990s.
After getting coated, the students took the medical student oath — a promise to uphold the human aspects of medicine such as sensitivity, compassion and respect for patients.
