As part of their entry into the world of medicine, 192 first-year students at Tulane University School of Medicine will receive their white coats Sunday. The coats will be presented in a 2 p.m. ceremony in McAlister Auditorium on Tulane's Uptown campus.
The principal speaker will be Dr. Karen DeSalvo, New Orleans' health commissioner and the senior health policy adviser to Mayor Mitch Landrieu. DeSalvo is on leave from her position as a professor of medicine at Tulane's medical school.
In addition to the coats,the students will receive blue and green Tulane medical-school patches to adorn those coats,stethoscopes and pins promoting humanism in medicine. The stethoscopes are gifts from the medical alumni association, and the pins come from the Arnold P.Gold Foundation, a not-for-profit organization based in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., that emphasizes the importance of the doctor-patient relationship.
The white coats, which are presented at the start of each academic year, symbolize care for patients. Second-year students at LSU School of Medicine received their white coats Saturday.
