Local residents

earn white coats

Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, Scranton, held its 16th annual White Coat Ceremony for the Class of 2028 on Aug. 3, at the Theater at North in Scranton.

Amoong the students receiving white coats were:

Allentown: Suzanne Kozloski; and

Breinigsville: Steven Lecates.

The Class of 2028’s future doctors participated in a ceremony held in common with virtually every other medical school in the nation.

White Coat ceremonies are designed to initiate new medical students into the profession by taking an oath acknowledging their responsibilities as future physicians and their obligations to future patients.

The high point of the ceremony is when the future doctors are cloaked with the white coat - the mantle of the medical profession.

White coats were provided by The Stanley J. Dudrick, M.D., and Alan G. Goldstein Endowed Fund.
