Rita Malley To me, the white coat symbolizes the patient-physician relationship. As physicians, we have the privilege and responsibility to accompany patients and their families through some of their most difficult times. With empathy and compassion, I will listen and learn from my patients, prioritizing their overall health and quality of life. When donning my white coat, I am reminded of the community of caregivers I have the privilege to be a part of. Through collaboration and communication, I will learn to provide compassionate, integrated care to my patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537462952836-TR5XOQLZ9PZFM1RMHH0O/WMWCM-11.jpg Class of 2022 - Elise Snyder When I put on my white coat, my patients trust me to act in their best interest, and that I have the knowledge and skills necessary to do so. It is my responsibility to be worthy of that trust, starting from the first day of my medical education throughout my entire career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537462908851-8HMJN5ZP61PJNU6LVSR1/WMWCM-9.jpg Class of 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537462975640-JX69NRGUDY7Q2EJ7KPU2/WMWCM-10.jpg Class of 2022 - Monette Veral When my family emigrated from the Philippines to the US in 2004, the most important thing that I brought with me was my dream of becoming a physician. Not being an American citizen has made it difficult to achieve my goal, but it has made me even more determined to overcome any adversity. I want to use my career in medicine to help the underserved, especially immigrants regardless of their status because a person’s humanity is not contingent upon having legal documentation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463002476-0P6FD08XOB189NZB45FJ/WMWCM-13.jpg Class of 2022 - Nirmal Maitra Though neither of my parents are in the field of healthcare, the way they carry themselves through life has inspired me to put on this white coat. My mother is a pastor and volunteers her time running a church that serves the impoverished foreign worker population in Kuwait. My father, the humblest man I have ever met, still goes to the office with a smile on his face every morning after 30 years in the same company because he loves his work. Growing up in this environment has taught me the profound effect that kindness, passion, hard work, and an unwavering will to stick by your beliefs can have an impact both on the lives of those around you as well as your own life. I will end with a quote that defines my outlook on why I put on this white coat: “Purpose is the place where your deep gladness meets the world's needs.” -Frederick Buechner. This is my purpose, this is my gladness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537462978271-YT2P6EHM6PXA5RUM1SVF/WMWCM-12.jpg Class of 2022 - Caroline King So many times I feel physicians get so bogged down in trying to find a solution to a patient's problem that they forget to do the simplest thing to ease a patient's mind: listen. Oftentimes what we need most in life when we are vulnerable is to feel heard and understood before we can move forward in trusting someone else to help us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463006612-6ZUIRY2C74TA6VHJFIP1/WMWCM-17.jpg Class of 2022 - Anisha Patel This white coat represents my dedication to a path of learning, teaching, and healing. I wear this coat for those looking for a compassionate advocate, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve others with empathy and patience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463026788-15KA8DOHJM7MP5S6LFJH/WMWCM-16.jpg Class of 2022 - Sindhura Kolachana Advocacy bridges patient care with efforts to mitigate disparities. It is important that physicians use the credibility of the white coat to advocate for and promote the rights of their patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463055381-ZIT8K8LO123UMFWCNFI6/WMWCM-14.jpg Class of 2022 - Julia Hernandez To me, my white coat symbolizes the dedication I have to the career I'm undertaking. It's a dedication to my future patients and their wellbeing. As a physician I will also be held responsible for those patients and their lives, which is an incredible weight to bear and something my white coat will always remind me. Lastly, my white coat symbolizes a level of representation I will hold as a Latina in the field of medicine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463037475-XJJCGMK3FJ5ITNZD8OZY/WMWCM-28.jpg Class of 2022 - Amanda Kuhn It's so important to treat each patient with respect, compassion, and empathy, especially in what can seem, at times, an unforgiving, judgmental world. In order to do so, it's crucial to be able to integrate all dimensions of each patient's life into his/her care, and I feel that this concept is the heart of 'Cura Peronalis.' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463065127-2M6VJW95ZPXGE5HAYNG7/WMWCM-15.jpg Class of 2022 - Jerome C. Murray Diversity within the United States medical workforce is not an accurate representation of diversity in the general population. As a black man, and first generation medical student, I have experienced the challenges of defying the statistical norms. My white coat is a symbol of my responsibility — to my community, my family, and myself — to represent a different narrative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463085204-I2WFIK92QTHCDO1F1AWL/WMWCM-29.jpg Class of 2022 - Bria Johnson As I embark on my medical school journey and reflect on the meaning of the white coat, I immediately thought of patients. A career in medicine is grounded in the act of doing for others…being completely selfless. As an aspiring physician, I will always put my patients first and keep their best interests at heart. The white coat has nothing to do me, but everything to do with those who I will serve. When wearing this white coat, a patient should feel assured that the person underneath promises to listen, to help, to advocate, to heal and to most importantly, act in a selfless manner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463096230-ETXMXDXY0LIGCQQZCRSU/WMWCM-24.jpg Class of 2022 - Alberto E. Perez From dengue outbreaks to food and water shortages, my birthplace has served as a reminder of the sacrifices that immigrant families have to make on daily basis. Venezuela's social disorder and economic decline prompted my family to come to the United States so we could have a better tomorrow. While this country has been the antithesis of Venezuela in many ways, attending medical school still seemed like a pipe dream at times. That all changed last year after receiving a call from Dean Taylor. Because of the GUSOM and GEMS program, I will now have the chance to advocate and give back to communities like the one I grew up in. I want to mentor future generations of physicians, particularly from minority and disadvantaged backgrounds, so they, too, can open more doors and break through glass ceilings. Now more than ever, we need to encourage little boys and girls from all walks of life to pursue their dreams, even if they aspire to be physicians in the United States of America. My white coat will serve as a reminder to never forget where I came from because, after all, it did take a village to raise this child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463113496-R0UET9419951YS8PA97U/WMWCM-30.jpg Class of 2022 - Lori Russel Through commitment and hard work, I have gained the opportunity to don the white coat, which endows an enormous responsibility to not only my patients, but to the community as a physician, an educator, and a leader. With continued commitment to education and practice, I plan to meet the challenges that will result alongside that responsibility with continued passion, which has driven me thus far. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463144021-P3PSEI3QA1L6H2U9RSJ3/WMWCM-19.jpg Class of 2022 - Osher Shefer Having my white coat, and the knowledge and responsibility that comes with it, means that I will finally be able to make people’s lives better in regards to their health and happiness. This is something that I’ve been excited about for a long time, and I believe that my white coat will now enable me to achieve the potential that I know I have. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463235075-M3ARMZ74RTEFN9J3OWH0/WMWCM-32.jpg Class of 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463123427-AFVFNBPVB8WBZEHCR927/WMWCM-18.jpg Class of 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463156778-5VJPC2SEHCAEWE44X9C1/WMWCM-31.jpg Class of 2022 - Sara Torres My white coat symbolizes my future social responsibility to advocate for my patients in order to ensure their human right to healthcare. This all begins with patients having access to the healthcare system and physicians they can consistently trust! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463233282-FJIXY1KGZDG7L8I1I6VD/WMWCM-22.jpg Class of 2022 - Marissa Hand When we put on our white coats just a few short weeks ago, my fellow M1 classmates and I promised to serve others. Although many professions provide an opportunity for this noble endeavor, few offer the chance to be there alongside someone through both the best and worst times of their life. With this opportunity, though, also comes responsibility. One such duty we take on by donning our white coat is ensuring that all voices are heard and that we continue to strive for equity and social justice through serving others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463175201-Z6HH1E859B8KPV4KSGPY/WMWCM-25.jpg Class of 2022 - Christine Hill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463255104-PWD5EU01OP33D5QQNTNQ/WMWCM-23.jpg Class of 2022 - Marissa Hand Every person deserves to receive high-quality, patient-centered care. My white coat means working to improve access to care, promoting health literacy, practicing cultural competency, and helping to provide top-notch patient care as a means to reduce health disparities and achieve health equity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463188183-ANNUPACHHRPNWNP91KKM/WMWCM-33.jpg Class of 2022 - Tanvee Singh Being able to learn, and someday practice, the healing art of medicine is a privilege and a joy. My white coat is an opportunity to use my heart and mind to their fullest potential. It represents my commitment to the most intrinsic part of medicine - humanism. It also adds a wonderful new dimension to the information I am learning as it is no longer just for me, but for the well-being of others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463263704-LPW3CYBTN00Z7F4S223K/WMWCM-21.jpg Class of 2022 - Sarah Trent Patients will seek my treatment, comfort and guidance during some of their weakest and most vulnerable moments. And as a physician, it will also be my duty to equip, motivate and enable my patients to thrive and live their healthiest life possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463208625-5SLAWM216ZRP61J7JBOP/WMWCM-27.jpg Class of 2022 - Kylie Knoles-Barnett My white coat means that I have gained the privilege of listening and that I am empowered to act as a leader for those who need help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463282665-Q5RXIRK2U4N8A94SFF9R/WMWCM-35.jpg Class of 2022 - Claire Caplan I aspire to be a voice of empathy and understanding for all. I want to live compassionately in all facets of my life and I hope to honor that as a future physician. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463212364-CX7Y10TF32J5FS25BXND/WMWCM-26.jpg Class of 2022 - Candace McCloud It is sobering to reflect on the tremendous responsibility that comes with my white coat. To me, the white coat symbolizes my serious devotion to four key values: leading with compassion, advocating for change, serving with dedication, and practicing humility. I use the coat as an opportunity to be the best version of myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463289947-307JSCNFZMG1BOOT0O4B/WMWCM-34.jpg Class of 2022 - Tyler McGehee Many people in my life have suffered from inadequate, unequal medical care. Their lives, their wonderful friendship, and their needs are the reason I am here. I am fully committed to becoming a physician that provides the care they deserve, while also working diligently to build a more accessible, equitable healthcare system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463311524-V9HMVQB2EZBT2X7BNYQ2/WMWCM-20.jpg Class of 2022 - Maggie Pauliukonis I am committed to lifelong learning through medical education and experience that I can use to stand up for individuals' health and well-being. I want to be the voice for my patients--to respect their autonomy and provide care centered around their needs and values. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463360756-IJZE20CF7JLAGBL3KU6S/WMWCM-7.jpg Class of 2022 - Nicholas Bader By swearing a sacred oath and committing oneself to the profession of medicine, we make a promise to always be a patient advocate. Putting on the white coat means that we not only attempt to treat a disease or injury, but we try to heal a person. The white coat means we study to push the boundaries of science and to hone our skill in the medical art. However, we would do well to remember the reason why we strive for such excellence - in the words of Dr. Knowlan: the patient, the patient, the patient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463314526-HXBL4PARD50ORUQGFS49/WMWCM-5.jpg Class of 2022 - Beelet Dawood The day I took the Hippocratic Oath, I vowed to make my medical education a tool to improve the lives of my community. With the existing healthcare disparities we currently face, I want to be a member of a generation of physicians that eliminate those disparities and that provides access to everyone. Healthcare is not a privilege. Healthcare is a human right. My white coat means I have made the commitment to use my skills to serve the underserved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463361023-TAZ62G4HBL0VEGGLTRFF/WMWCM-3.jpg Class of 2022 - Dave Mohebbi To me, my white coat symbolizes a series of challenges: a challenge to learn, a challenge to perform, and a challenge to provide. It challenges me to be the best version of myself, so that I may one day deliver to my patients the care they deserve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463337923-0HRQEDUSQ62EX7W06K90/WMWCM-4.jpg Class of 2022 - Sarah Powell A week before my white coat ceremony, I watched the parents of a high school colleague receive his white coat at his celebration of life. His tragic death made me realize how fragile life is and that I have to pursue my dreams with everything I have. Now I not only pursue my dreams for myself but also in memory and honor of Colt as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463338146-NQDJBRKX1GS5QKXCPNEB/WMWCM-6.jpg Class of 2022 - Ayodeji Ajaya Access granted began with the privilege to study medicine. Georgetown gave me the access. Now I can serve as an access point for my community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537463386646-9N6Z0I6YIIIVPAKEIA5V/WMWCM-1.jpg Class of 2022 - Yadana Khin As a future physician, I want my patients to feel that they are in control of their health. I aspire to support my patients so that they do not feel helpless in the face of illness, but so instead they feel empowered to take charge of their wellbeing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537466281804-JG05G0DXNX5OMGJTSBG9/WMWCM-9.jpg Class of 2022 - Gabriela Avalos Whenever I put on my white coat, I am reminded that what matters most in medicine is the patient and their physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. I will strive to always see beyond the sickness and treat the person with kindness and respect. Having moved from El Salvador at the age of eight, I know the hardships Latinos and immigrants face, and thus welcome the privilege to act as an advocate for the Hispanic community. I hope to grow into a knowledgeable and compassionate physician and make a difference in the lives of my future patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1537466151758-B7WKN0WVRKPSKWZKE75V/WMWCM-2.jpg Class of 2022 - Michael Markel While working at a free health clinic in Los Angeles, I realized the influence a physician has as an advocate. I was inspired by the physicians I worked with, who would fight tirelessly for the needs of our underserved patients. Someday, I hope to emulate them as I practice medicine myself. http://www.artsandmedicine.org/class-of-2021 daily 0.75 2018-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269199485-G7RM3HTGF42Q15D2CWBP/DSC_0043_01.jpg Class of 2021 - Nate Fackler Everyone gets into medicine for different reasons but in one way or another we do it because we want to help people. Whether it is helping them to cope with their disease, cure their illness or accept their new life path, we are dedicated to serving our patients with all of the knowledge and experience that we are so fortunate to have. When I put on my white coat I am reminded of the incredible responsibility that comes along with it as well as the tremendous opportunity to heal and advocate for every person that puts their trust in me as their caregiver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269199485-G7RM3HTGF42Q15D2CWBP/DSC_0043_01.jpg Class of 2021 - Nate Fackler Everyone gets into medicine for different reasons but in one way or another we do it because we want to help people.

I consider a career in medicine to be a calling to the service to others, and having my white coat pushes me to do the best I can to acquire the skills I need, in order to be in a position to serve others, and to serve them well. My white coat symbolizes the responsibility I have to use science, love, kindness and compassions to heal the body, mind, and spirit of every patient that will fall under my care, as a future physician. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269233105-4XJY1OVJ6J8UNT3EV0HJ/DSC_0100.jpg Class of 2021 - Mark Brahier A single word that embodies so much of what it means to be a physician. My white coat is a reminder to serve the sick, vulnerable, and oppressed with compassion. It is a symbol of hope in the face of despair and an opportunity to bring physical, emotional, and spiritual healing to those I encounter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269228716-UNYZTL9OJPWZSFINGFBX/DSC_0116.jpg Class of 2021 - Mike Ramirez To me, my white coat symbolizes the life that I have now dedicated myself to by becoming a medical student at Georgetown: a life centered in compassionately caring for the whole of each and every person I serve as a future physician. Wearing this coat is a privilege that I will not take lightly, as I will attempt to spend each and every day of my career caring for my patients under the Jesuit value of Cura Personalis, or care for the whole person. Over the next four years and beyond, I hope for nothing more than to live up to the incredible reputation that comes along with the Georgetown University School of Medicine seal on my white coat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269239031-WVBFYTHRSV0BQ3QBM2BA/DSC_0138.jpg Class of 2021 - Nicholas Wegener Upon donning the white coat for the first time, I symbolically put on a white, blank slate. That blank slate is the foundation upon which all my knowledge, ability, trust, and care will be built upon. The white coat is a canvas upon which knowledge, experience, relationships, heartbreak, and happiness will be foreverimprinted. The journey of medical exploration will enable me to continue to discover who I am and what it truly means to be a physician whom is completely focused upon the health and well being of the patient. Illness can be one of the scariest and toughest moments of a patient’s life. The privilege to enter into that illness is built upon trust and mutual understanding of the physician’s growth into an individual who is completely focused on caring for the whole patient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269247435-O9XNXISZNI6UZJAO34MB/DSC_0157.jpg Class of 2021 - Jordan Martucci My White Coat means making a difference. My family always told me that that the way to live an authentic and fulfilling life is to have a positive impact on others. I have always been mesmerized by the Hebrew phrase of Tikkun Olam, which to me means that by healing one person, you are healing your entire community. Through medicine, I will commit myself to becoming a physician where I can make a difference, not only in the lives of my patients, but in the lives of their families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269262095-WGDKEOLPYVMHDLIMC0KX/DSC_0176.jpg Class of 2021 - Nayeem Nasher When first donning the white coat to every moment thereafter, I’ve accepted the responsibility of becoming a lifelong learner and to dedicate my life to the service and well being of others. In many ways, it’s the highest responsibility I could ever bare. A responsibility that embodies you through the actions you take and the choices you make, servicing the notion that you are now devoted to something greater than yourself. I’ll wear my symbol of dedication with the honor of knowing that I will be looked towards to inspire confidence and wellness among the people I’ll come to serve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269275699-XK94NOJX9HATX02CVUUR/DSC_0197.jpg Class of 2021 - Katie White To me, the white coat symbolizes the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. Doctors are privy to their patients' deepest insecurities and fears. In response to this vulnerability, physicians must deliver the highest quality of care for the illness while empowering patients to take control of their own health. When I put on my white coat, I am reminded of this unique privilege and responsibility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269283323-2ZA6X3KJP4HL0P3EB1VC/DSC_0223.jpg Class of 2021 - Kevin Chang When I put on my white coat in the morning and look at myself in the mirror, I still can't help but grin ear to ear, realizing that every day I get to put everything I have into my work so others may live a better life. It'll be hard, sometimes it'll be thankless, and people will constantly say it's not worth what I get out of it. Yet every night, I will fall asleep, proud of the work that I’ve done to serve others for a living and not once questioning the value of the profession I’ve chosen; and every morning, I get to wake up, put on my coat, and grin as I realize how lucky I am to be able to dedicate my life to the service of others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269313907-8G04ZXVL07EYH7BZ8IFB/DSC_0241.jpg Class of 2021 - Janae Van Buren As a human being, my ultimate goal is to work with and fight for individuals and communities that are facing social and health inequities. One of the routes by which I strive to accomplish this goal is through my practice of medicine and my privilege. My white coat is an immense privilege and I hope to use it to effect change and improve health in the most vulnerable populations. By wearing my white coat, I want people, especially my patients, to know that I recognize the intersectionality and complex relationships of social determinants of health--and that I will show up for them, listen to them, and do what is in my power to fight for health justice and their wellbeing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269296567-TV5J7NEXBNSK4A5JS1U0/DSC_0277_01.jpg Class of 2021 - Sarah Berg My white coat serves as a reminder to always embody the Jesuit value of “cura personalis” or caring for the whole person. As a future physician, I promise to see my patients as more than just a diagnosis. I’ll strive to recognize the many dimensions of my patients’ lives that make them who they are, and each of us unique. I’ll work to understand these components, and appreciate the impact that they can have. And I’ll use this perspective to by who my patients need me to be, whether an advocate, educator, or provider. Together, we can strive for improved quality of life, more successful treatments, and better outcomes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269303979-4GIK0OKV2MNWXLZY9NZY/DSC_0283_01.jpg Class of 2021 - Alex McNally I believe that to be a great doctor you can not simply be intelligent, a hard worker, or empathetic, you must posses each of these qualities and so many more. My white coat means that I am afforded the great privilege of using the gifts that I have been blessed with to make a difference in the world. It is a promise that every day I will give all that I have to helping my patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269311782-SP8Y0LHKGDNNWEXWDYY5/DSC_0314.jpg Class of 2021 - Logan Scoon I strive to use the knowledge and skills I begin to develop as a student to listen to, to teach, and to heal future patients. When healing is not possible, I hope to help patients find comfort. The white coat embodies many attributes and experiences, but this journey begins with compassion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538269321682-ZZ3DNCMQBM8XNP0YEJLC/DSC_0332_01.jpg Class of 2021 - Donya Enayati This white coat symbolizes my life-long commitment to upholding the Jesuit value of cura personalis while serving the needs of medically disadvantaged communities. Unfortunately, Washington is home to some of our nation’s most polarizing health disparities. Passionate about reducing such inequalities in health care, I continually strive to use my interdisciplinary education from Georgetown to enrich humanistic care for underserved families and to address the needs of an increasingly diverse society. By employing the scientific knowledge and clinical skills I have gained while donning this coat, I will continue to work hard to expand patient education in medically underprivileged communities and to promote behavioral change that supports both a healthy body and a healthy mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274748910-UZ3UVN3HFA9HRSFE1RKN/DSC_0360_01.jpg Class of 2021 - Lani Galloway Whether we are working with patients to treat serious medical conditions, helping family members cope with the death of a loved one, or saving a life in the ER, physicians have the privilege of helping their patients when they are in their most vulnerable state. It is an honor to be involved in someone’s life during such intimate moments and we should not take that for granted. My hope for medical school is to hone my skills in empathy and compassion so that I can be a source of comfort for my patients when they need me. My white coat means getting to help others when they need it most. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274742772-7OEIQR5QGVS8CMTZ135C/DSC_0391_01-2.jpg Class of 2021 - Grace Lassiter The white coat is more than our welcome into the profession of medicine. It is a standard against which our current and future acts of care will be judged. As I enter the journey of my medical career, my white coat will serve as a reminder to be humble, authentic, and other-centered. For me, it is above all else a symbol of integrity. The word "integrity" stems from the Latin adjective integer meaning whole or complete. Integrity is our inner sense of "wholeness" deriving from qualities such as honesty and consistency of character. My Georgetown education is building this stable foundation of integrity to provide care for the whole person, and to advocate for the improved health of society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274750861-VXOQ2AT1LK4KRA4G0WMY/DSC_0408.jpg Class of 2021 My white coat means patient advocacy on all levels, not just in the exam room. It means recognizing the patient as a full and complex human rather than a singular case, and it means a commitment to professionalism and continual learning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274770547-QFND8DFLHOWNCV2WRK6C/DSC_0427.jpg Class of 2021 - Sydney Karnovsky With the constant advancement of biomedical research, it is imperative to remain committed to, and excited about learning throughout a successful career in medicine. I want to be able to help my patients with the most up-to-date and effective treatments, no matter if I learned them in medical school, or if they are discovered 15 years after my graduation. In order to do this, I look forward to following relevant research and regularly learning from my peers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274772098-LXL0LRC5YFCTB6QLV4Q9/DSC_0454.jpg Class of 2021 - Ritika Patil White coats may be conspicuous, but the color white symbolizes surrender. It means that we have chosen a profession that requires us to dedicate our lives to improving those of our patients. As I embark on this journey, my white coat will be a constant reminder that it's not about me at all, it's about my (future) patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274789334-N0GLPB1OFQNWGYLX8XPB/DSC_0469_1.jpg Class of 2021 - Caitlin Merley When I put on my white coat, I am no longer accountable only for myself. I am now accountable for my patients, whoever and in whatever stage of life they may be in. I have a responsibility when I put on this coat to care for all patients in a time of need. I know this will be difficult at times, which is why I will have to persevere and learn each day to be the best physician I can be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274800836-SR9IRS9PCXY8NSIEBQPP/DSC_0476.jpg Class of 2021 - Lawren Wooten I believe that by donning the white coat we all commit to serving others and supporting them to live their healthiest lives. This service requires a high level of empathy, care and attention that are vital to medical practice because we deal with real human life and death. By accepting and wearing my white coat I also agree to respect all persons, help those who cannot help themselves and always act in the best interest of my patients. Personally, wearing my white coat means finally entering the career path of which I have dreamt since kindergarten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274809414-AXCB004K95CMGHEKFXGC/DSC_0507.jpg Class of 2021 - Stanthia Ryan Representation matters. In some cases, it may be the gateway to developing trust and understanding with your patients. My white coat serves as a symbol of the dedication I have to not only represent black women in medicine, but also as a tool for advocating for the many who may not be able to advocate for themselves. It is the first step in fulfilling the promise I made to serving the underserved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274818173-HHW89D870BKKTWY0CRM8/DSC_0533.jpg Class of 2021 - Francis Navarra My affinity for medicine started young, yet I did not know I would one day be in pursuit of such a profession. The very inkling of becoming a doctor was the furthest thought from my mind, but the culmination of life experiences and lessons taught by my grandparents are what brought me here. Being the first person in my family to attend a university, let alone a prestigious medical school, did not happen by chance. I was called to this profession and I am dedicated to the well-being of my patients. The opportunity lies not in being a doctor, but having the opportunity to serve those that need me the most. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538274831839-Z8BJTSUWPYY7ICXBTXT3/DSC_0554.jpg Class of 2021 - Nabanita Hossain Advocacy plays a significant role in the medical field. A physician must advocate for his or her patients’ health, no matter what groups the patients belong to and identify with. My white coat is a reminder that it is my duty to make sure that the health of my patient is not compromised because of social determinants of health that I can help change. I will constantly work to improve health care in order to better the quality of care available to all, while also supporting and caring for vulnerable populations. I hope to strive towards health equity throughout my journey in medicine http://www.artsandmedicine.org/class-of-2020 daily 0.75 2025-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254262775-ES2H3W002WL0F3K526C0/Adwoa+Taylor.jpg Class of 2020 - Adwoa Taylor The early years of my life were spent in Providence, RI, where I was born, and at the age of seven I had the opportunity to move to Ghana. Both of my parents are originally from Ghana, and growing up they instilled a deep sense of pride in my heritage in me. As the child of a doctor, during my time in Ghana, I was always acutely aware of the deficiencies in the healthcare system. Despite its best efforts, the system was unable to provide quality care to large segments of the population. Right in front of me people were dying from preventable and treatable illnesses. Guided by my faith, I immediately knew that I wanted to go into medicine so that I could one day make a positive impact on my second home. Coming to Georgetown University, I had the opportunity to grow in my devotion to God through my Catholic faith, and pursue my interests in a way which reflected my desire to serve others. After my years at Georgetown's undergraduate and graduate schools, I am so excited to be a member of the Georgetown School of Medicine's Class of 2020, and thrilled to call it home for another 4 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254262775-ES2H3W002WL0F3K526C0/Adwoa+Taylor.jpg Class of 2020 - Adwoa Taylor The early years of my life were spent in Providence, RI, where I was born, and at the age of seven I had the opportunity to move to Ghana.

As a physician healer it will be my responsibility to help to the best of my ability any and every person that walks into my office, and by extension to love them for the simple reason that they too are human. As people, threats to our health are often the scariest, most vulnerable moments in life. I can imagine no greater joy or honor than to be able to help people turn these moments of fear into a lifetime of happiness through better health. My white coat reminds me of the incredible faith that society has placed in me, entrusting me with this immense privilege of serving its people. In return, I promise to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to improving the lives of all of those in need. I promise to listen and to understand the needs of my patients in order to help them achieve their desired outcome. And more than anything, I promise to love every single one of them, and to let this love guide me in applying my skills towards creating a healthier, happier world for all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254278201-XZPKS646Z423SSO7QHUT/Danny+Flautero.jpg Class of 2020 - Danny Flautero My white coat is a reminder to speak up against the inequities that pervade not only our healthcare system, but most aspects of our society. As future physicians, we made a promise to listen and heal to the best of our abilities, but are we fulfilling this oath when we send people back to the same conditions that made them sick in the first place? To me, becoming a doctor means understanding the socioeconomic factors that lead to differences in health between populations and working with communities, especially minorities, to address social injustices that lead to disease. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254327122-88XXUOBQHUBBKO4B0J38/Emily+Lai.jpg Class of 2020 - Emily Lai Each time I put on my white coat, I am reminded of my role as a patient advocate. Because medicine is ever-changing, it will be my job to provide wisdom and advise on the best care possible. Such a career of lifelong learning and education requires courage and persistence to not only protect my patients but also advance the field of medicine forward. Bearing a white coat comes with immense responsibility to never settle for less. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254307283-P6VTRG55SEP9GXRNAWPN/Erica+Meninno+%28no+response%29.jpg Class of 2020 - Erica Menino https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254341731-UNAVANG64RMENLDC16GY/Frank+Migliarese.jpg Class of 2020 - Frank Migliarese This phrase and question from the story of Cain and Abel has always resonated with me because I have always been my brother's keeper, literally. My brother was born with Spina Bifida, a congenital birth defect, and I, along with my family, was responsible for helping him with his daily care. Living with my brother taught me what it means to be responsible for another's well-being and more importantly how much families, friends, and communities do to support the ones they love. My white coat means taking responsibility for the care of all in the community I serve, ensuring that patients and their support systems have the power to live fulfilling lives. I do so compassionately and humbly. All who come to me are my family and will be treated as such. Together, as a team, we can be each other's keepers and support each other through our journeys in life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254362942-WGAQ3XQ4T5NDBLF3G7YN/Greg+Stimac.jpg Class of 2020 - Greg Stimac We can all identify with at least one aspect of humanist ethics – the common good, knowledge, the scientific method, human rights, human dignity, creativity, and compassion, to name a few. It’s through these interconnected principles that we can learn to identify with those around us and achieve ultimate fulfillment in life for ourselves and others. Personally, many of these values have matured in response to my grandfather’s life story, as he was an immigrant from Croatia who was a victim of well-known and, equally, overlooked tragedies of the Second World War. I’ve developed a humbling and deeply respectful temperament, knowing that I wouldn’t be where I am today without his sacrifice and compassionate nature. Were he alive today, I know he would be proud of me for wanting the best in life for others. Ultimately, that’s all he wanted for his friends and family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254390765-62MRGV32K42N0J1PLK1O/Griselda+Potka.jpg Class of 2020 - Griselda Potka While growing up in Albania, I watched the women in my family cultivate a life around their husband and children. There were no opportunities for them to receive an education or employment. After immigrating to the U.S., I fiercely pursued education as a way to empower myself. I am proud to stand here in my white coat and vow to work tirelessly for the next four years so I can become a doctor. I owe it to myself of course but also to the women in my family who might never know what its like to sail your own ship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254394970-783SKG5GJG3A07KFN5BY/Imanyah+%28no+response%29.jpg Class of 2020 - Imanyah Hilliard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254550474-U4AB4GR7USRRW0NZAASR/John+Solak.jpg Class of 2020 - John Solak As a United States Army Officer, I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. When I received my white coat, I swore another oath, the Hippocratic Oath. Both of these are grounded in service; to the nation and to my patients. To me, the white coat is the physical embodiment of both of these obligations. Every time I put on the white coat, I am reminded of a solemn promise shared by all men and women who serve a purpose greater than themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254419299-9YJ3LGYZIEK8IEE72Q6K/Isabella+Camacho.jpg Class of 2020 - Isabella Camacho My white coat symbolizes the beginning of my journey into the healing profession of medicine. By being guided by cura personalis values, I hope to become an understanding compassionate physician. I am blessed to be a part of the team of students, physicians, friends, and family that support my dreams. One of the most rewarding aspects of becoming a physician is the ability to make a positive impact on patients by establishing trusting relationships. My white coat serves as a reminder that I must strive to provide patients with the best quality of care possible. As a future doctor, I wholeheartedly dedicate myself to serving others and promise to wear my coat with humility and honor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254530609-QPDRFKUNF2GO4N3M20EX/Karin+Collins.jpg Class of 2020 - Karin Collins During the White Coat Ceremony, I couldn't help but smile as I looked around at my future colleagues. We were welcomed into the world of medicine and received our team uniform: the white coat. Although our paths to medical school all looked different, these uniforms now unite us as we step forward together. My white coat - and those of my classmates - means I've joined the healthcare team and will work with physicians, nurses, technicians, and most importantly, my patients, to cultivate a collaborative environment where healing prevails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254720046-77LOKOP28LZ8BQZB7D0W/Naha+Rajpal.jpg Class of 2020 - Neha Rajpal How does it feel to swim across a lake when you can barely see the other side? Ask a medical student. She will tell you that every stroke is a deliberate one. Most of her actions, seemingly ordinary, will fade from her memory when she emerges from the water on the other side. What will remain is the greater feat of conquering the lake. Mastering each stroke along her journey, she strives to transform into someone worthy of her white coat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254419732-E2T1FLGBPJFUB2TRMXLT/Jaspreet+Bahia.jpg Class of 2020 - Jaspreet Bahia My white coat is a symbol of trust. Every time I put on my white coat people not only look at me differently, but also treat me differently. It’s only been my first month of medical school and a patient has already disclosed intimate details about their life to me. A patient has already trusted me with things that they were not comfortable telling their closest friends and family members. What have I done to earn the trust that comes with wearing this white coat? I think I was given this coat because someone believed in me, someone believed that I can be trusted to show every patient I encounter empathy, compassion, and give each and every patient the care they deserve. Every time I put on my white coat it is a reminder of the trust I was given and it is a new opportunity to show I am worthy of this trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254560262-OL6FWA5KOBNJ06DCLK0T/Kate+Wallerius.jpg Class of 2020 - Kate Wallerius Father Fitzgibbons, President of Regis University, once told me that as graduates of a Jesuit university, the diploma we receive does not actually belong to us. Certainly we have earned it, but the degree we're awarded and the skills and knowledge we've acquired truly belongs to those who we will serve with it. The education we have received belongs to the lives that we will touch, the people we will impact. I have kept this design in my heart and I vow to take the amazing gift of my education to lead positive change in the world around me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254455308-WMSHULHL0SMBYKABWJYF/Jennifer+Gyamfi+Holiday.jpg Class of 2020 - Jennifer Gyamfi Holiday My dream of becoming a physician began when I was in high school. My experiences inspired my passion for women's health and led me to begin envisioning myself one day providing great health care and advocating for my patients. When I wear my white coat, I'm reminded of the years of hard work and dedication it took for me to be here, and humbled by the prospect of patients entrusting me to journey with them on their way to wellness and healing. My white coat is a symbol of heartfelt compassion for my patients and belief in myself in turning my dreams into my reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254630731-ARR096ZD404IADDEI34V/Leanna+Mantella.jpg Class of 2020 - Leanna Mantella When I put on my white coat, I am reminded that I am committed to a profession that has the unique ability to strengthen patients both physically and emotionally. My white coat will allow me to use my knowledge to understand the complexity of the human body, while also offering hope to the human soul. Patients hope that their needs will be understood and that one day their devastating diseases will be curable. As a future physician, I am humbled knowing that I am entrusted with the responsibilities of caring for patients and offering them the hope that they need to move past their illnesses. My white coat is a privilege to wear and serves as a reminder that I must strive to provide patients with the hope, the strength, and the cure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254767645-A54XZB5M4JG3N4HNNDYM/Preethi+Venkat.jpg Class of 2020 - Preethi Venkat To me, cura personalis applies not only to the patients we see, but to the global community in which we all live. When I wear my white coat, I am reminded of the commitment that I’ve made to promoting public health and caring for others at the population level, both locally and abroad. It is a symbol that allows me to take my education from the classroom and apply it to the hospital setting and beyond. It reminds me that I have the ability and the responsibility to contribute to a global movement toward better health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254494859-ZNUOS2S2RPD5AFXDJL2H/Jessia+Haladyna.jpg Class of 2020 - Jessica Haladyna Each time I put on my white coat, I make a conscious commitment to go beyond 100% for everyone who seeks my help. I understand wholeheartedly that a patient is more than meets the eye. I will see someone’s mother or father, brother or sister, someone’s precious child, and someone’s best friend. Bearing the responsibility and honor of this white coat, I will embody compassion and tenacity to ensure not only physical, but emotional and spiritual recovery for my patients. Regardless of the long hours and the demanding schedule that accompanies being a physician, I will strive to serve every person with 110% of my attention, knowledge, care, and love. Always. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254623040-PNIBK4L22WX10KZ2KSG9/Lisa+Scheuing.jpg Class of 2020 - Lisa Scheuing My white coat means “trust” because I want my patients to feel comfortable enough to confide anything to me and trust that I won’t be judgmental. I want my patients to trust that I will always be honest with them, to tell them the truth even if the truth is difficult. I want my patients to trust that I will always be compassionate and respectful towards them, even if they are angry or lashing out because they are afraid. I want my patients to trust that I will always go above and beyond for them, giving them the best care possible by listening to all of their concerns and by putting their interests first. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254797074-Y26UVHUM3BQ3E0UD0UU5/Ruie+Soares.jpg Class of 2020 - Rui Soares Every time I put on the white coat, I am reminded of all of the sacrifices and hard work that was done to get to this point in my life. This white coat is not just a symbol of healing but also a symbol of true responsibility. The responsibility to serve my fellow men and women and aid them in attaining positive health outcomes, which has to be done through compassion and empathy. This is a commitment and a life filled with service to others in need. It is a true blessing and privilege to be given the opportunity to pursue my medical dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254495030-PBG6MUVIXS2946BT8UYE/Jessica+Burlile.jpg Class of 2020 - Jessica Burlile The first time I looked at myself in the mirror wearing my white coat I felt the weight of responsibility - a responsibility to be decisive and precise, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate for my future patients. In the white coat I looked as if I already possessed these skills, and the reality of the image that the white coat portrays sank in. Regardless of what specialty a student may ultimately choose to practice, we as doctors (and student doctors) will have the responsibility to be a source of strength for our patients. Whether celebrating successful treatments or guiding patients and their families through an end-of-life transition, a precise choice of words can convey a physician's authenticity of emotional expression and a clear understanding of the diagnosis: imparting physical, mental, and emotional strength to both patients and their families. This strength will aid the patient through treatment or recovery, and if recovery is not possible, give the patient a sense of peace - for it is not only in fighting, but also in acceptance and understanding, that there is victory over that which strives to break one's spirit and demoralize one's resolve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254676584-WM16KM91GV9T4F5RMNLE/Maria+Masciello.jpg Class of 2020 - Maria Masciello The white coat is a symbol, a uniform that I will begin to grow into. It's not magical. Over the years, I must earn the respect that the coat brings. It will take countless hours of reading, listening, practicing, and healing for the coat to fit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254803979-EJEAEWGBUK64ED5DNOPJ/Sydney+Dishman.jpg Class of 2020 - Sydney Dishman My great grandfather died in World War II, my grandfather enlisted in the Army during the Vietnam War, my father was a pilot in the Navy for nearly 30 years, and my brother is currently serving as a Naval Surface Warfare Officer. Because of this, I have a deep admiration for our military and a sincere appreciation for the immense personal sacrifices our servicemen and women make every day to ensure our country’s safety and freedom. Earning my white coat means that I have taken the first step toward becoming a physician in the medical corps, where I will have the distinct opportunity to provide care for these brave individuals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538254663749-F3WQRN1L88TV822N2YQW/Marilyn+McGowan.jpg Class of 2020 - Marilyn McGowan At first I was tempted to write this coat means "I can do it!" But the more I thought about it, the less that statement resonated with me. I didn't get here alone, nor will I be able to make it through alone. This coat is worn by me, but it is representative of an entire community alongside me: a community of physicians, students, parents, friends, and family, passionate and ready to serve. http://www.artsandmedicine.org/class-of-2019 daily 0.75 2018-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256194415-6GVC4AEMZDDKPVQJ64PM/Allix+Hillebrand.jpg Class of 2019 - Allix Hillebrand Most patients have no voice in the politics which will inevitably affect them the most.

For centuries, medicine was not as effective as one would expect; treatment was based on ancient knowledge of anatomy, folklore, and traditional remedies rather than real scientific evidence, and despite the best efforts of physicians at the time, patients suffered for it. Healers actually wore black out of a sense of formality or gravity in the face impending death. It was only in the last century that medicine embraced clear scientific practices. We learned that disease can be spread by germs, and developed medications and techniques to sterilize ourselves and prevent infections that have plagued humanity for generations. Physicians began to wear laboratory coat white as a way to reflect this new outlook, one of truth seeking, cleanliness, and new life. The white coat is a symbol of our vow to do no harm, of hope for the future, and a reminder to always seek new ways to aid those in need of our help, in whatever capacity that may be. Every time I put on my white coat, that is the message I want to send to anyone who sees it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256186490-7Q0EV8ECHYASTJJ25XVF/Charlotte+Goldman.jpg Class of 2019 - Charlotte Goldman My white coat envelops the day to day minutia of medical school to remind me of my accountability to my peers, myself and my profession. It represents my personal challenge to hold myself to a high standard of responsibility for others. It’s a reminder to improve myself academically beyond my grades, and seek experience and perspective so I can best serve my patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256188217-ULJCW3F34NBCA879D9NW/Christine+Papastamelos.jpg Class of 2019 - Christine Papastamelos My study of medicine has fueled a fascination with the question of what it is to be human. As I have come to see it, putting on my white coat articulates a desire to understand human form and function while satisfying a natural inclination to grasp the common human experience. It is this unique human connectedness that most draws me to medicine, a vehicle for improving the quality of life of others without difference or judgement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256209936-LS9SKXBXYEO56XBWYRNU/Clare+Goggins.jpg Class of 2019 - Clare Goggins My white coat symbolizes a blank canvas. It serves as a platform upon which the patients I encounter can depict their stories – both medical and personal. Even as medical students, patients entrust us with the most intimate, vulnerable details of their lives. Every time we walk into a patient’s room donned in our white coats, we carry with us the promise of a nonjudgmental, attentive ear and a helping hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256210202-H0ZQ217UY0OUS0FGEFS1/Dylan+Conroy.jpg Class of 2019 - Dylan Conroy The Jesuit principle of “magis” means "more," and I have adopted this mantra as motivation to to do better and be better in all aspects of my life. Patients need more than a five minute question-and-answer barrage, more than a pre-op visit emphasizing technicality over humanity. As a prospective surgeon, I aim to spend as much time discussing my patients' weekends as I do their upcoming procedures. I want to know them as more than a left knee replacement or appendectomy, to know their lives as mothers and fathers and children. Magis will guide me through late night shifts and challenging cases, pushing me to always do more for every patient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256234595-0PGZNMY1LD2KTE8Q8TVF/Gina+Biagetti.jpg Class of 2019 - Gina Biagetti Being in the Air Force, my patients will all have worked hard at keeping our country safe, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need someone to look out for their health as well. My white coat means I’ll be there every step of the way, preventing disease and treating my fellow Airmen as the need arises. Safety isn’t just the way we prevent problems. It’s a bedside manner, open communication, and a promise to do my best for all my patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256211697-ZBO52M4NVFNH0OTIFH5T/Jim+Chihun+Han.jpg Class of 2019 - Jim Chihun Han To truly help someone, one needs more than just compassion and a desire to help. One has to have practical skills and resources to offer the services that people need. My white coat serves as a reminder for me to stay humble, work hard, and never stop learning, not for myself, but for the patients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256237783-RTBX9D774LW1AATZ63US/Johan+Clarke.jpg Class of 2019 - Johan Clarke Doctors have a long and terrible history of policing queer bodies through treatments and surgical procedures, discriminating against members of the LGBT community by denying gender identity or necessary care, and maintaining a hostile environment for both members of the medical team and the patient. It's telling that a lot of health care disparities in the LGBT community are a result of fear of going to the doctor and that one study claimed about 30% of non-heterosexual med students did not disclose their sexual or gender identity during their time in med school. I wear my white coat as an act of rebellion against a field that wants to deny and forget my existence, in the hope that I can help make the medical community a better place for my fellow members of the queer community. That being said, I recognize that I am still a white male presenting human and that is still an untrustworthy figure for many. I know that the white coat is a strong player in queer erasure and wearing it can be a step backward in my attempts. My white coat reminds me of what I look like, what I need to do to hopefully counteract that fear and erasure, and what I should do to make medicine less dangerous to people like me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256237062-2TSL008D8D0VDH1XBL2F/John+Guzzi.jpg Class of 2019 - John Guzzi Every day, our careers will intersect with the lives of others at their most vulnerable moments. Vulnerability is a virtue -- we can never let those moments feel small. The most important acts of healing are driven by being present. My white coat is a reminder that once that door is closed, my #1 priority is to be there alongside my patients, wherever that may be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256266261-3SZ7FFGYV1THKPD7I46R/Justine+Achille.jpg Class of 2019 - Justine Achille This coat is a symbol of my choice and promise to be a physician who upholds the Georgetown and Jesuit motto of cura personalis. I am committed to caring for the whole patient-- body, mind, and soul. I am so proud to attend a university whose mission is to not only create exceptional clinicians, but to create true healers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256239175-DRWR07U5WM4NZMQH6DLV/Katherine+Wikholm.jpg Class of 2019 - Katherine Wikholm There is a quote attributed to Father Pedro Arrupe, S.J. that speaks of love. It goes, “Nothing is more practical than finding God, than falling in Love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, whom you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in Love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." This is what the white coat means to me. Sure, I’m not always thrilled that medical school is what I do with my evenings and weekends, but nothing else makes me feel more grounded, more myself. I have fallen in love with medicine, with my future patients, with the act of healing and the act of sitting with others in their suffering, in their humanity. To me, this is vocation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256241334-D8C03KM9VA2RR8DSCX1M/Katie+Oskar.jpg Class of 2019 - Katie Oskar Going to medical school and committing to becoming a physician only really made sense to me when I began volunteering through my undergraduate university's service learning program. Building relationships with people who had been marginalized and stigmatized by substance abuse, homelessness, mental illness, or HIV status--and feeling a sense of shared humanity between us--propelled me to prioritize working for social justice by leveraging my talents & privilege for others. Being a physician and combining science with direct service will let me do just that--it's the best way I can think of for me to positively impact the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256243090-7Q2GRO4QJAMS2XUH91WO/Khaled+Kabbara.jpg Class of 2019 - Khaled Kabbara This white coat has been a catalyst for me to reflect on the blessings and privilege to be in this profession. I learned that with this white coat comes a sacred oath to fulfill the sacred trust bestowed on us by society. To me, being accepted by this white coat, I in return accept to commit to fight for the justice that my patients, all communities and societies, and all those who are vulnerable deserve. Healing does not stop at the physical well being, but transcends to include economical, social, spiritual, emotional and all elements of life. It is truly humbling for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256269792-BKY0O94ZKRU1Z796BD68/Lauren+Barrison.jpg Class of 2019 - Lauren Barrison My white coat means appreciating all of the aspects that contribute to my patients' health. As a double Hoya with a unique Georgetown degree in International Health, I have become one with the idea that health requires caring for the whole person. The diverse experiences that Georgetown has afforded me both locally and abroad over the past five years have shown me that the most important aspect of being a care provider is listening. My white coat means that I will dedicate myself to listening to my patients to understand how I can best support their emotional and physical well-being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256281798-64ISCY49PCMD4Z9CJWX9/Lauren+Klingman.jpg Class of 2019 - Lauren Klingman The decision to leave my career in theater was the hardest I’ve had to make. A lot of reasons compelled me to pursue the change; ultimately I felt like I had more to contribute to this world than what theatre would allow. I chose to give up all the roles I might have played for the final role of physician. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256270937-B2WBSKBRRA67R4NLKWPN/Matt+Coster.jpg Class of 2019 - Matt Coster Many Americans have access to one of the greatest systems of healthcare in the world, and are able to take advantage of the latest technology and therapies, while some have limited access to care due to the unequal distribution of the social determinants of health. I want to give back, and serve those who are underserved, but I also want to be a part of the change that eliminates the health inequities present in this country, because neither where you’re from, nor the color of your skin, nor your gender, nor your sexual orientation should define your life expectancy. I hope to improve the health of my patients and my community through primary care, advocacy, and community-based interventions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256286849-YZAIRSKJ6V387R1IPT24/Monika+Gasiorek.jpg Class of 2019 - Monika Gasiorek I have a love-hate relationship with my white coat. On the one hand, it empowers me to learn, serve, and advocate. On the other, it sets me apart from the individuals I wish to sit and speak with eye to eye, hand in hand. Nonetheless, through this conflict I have found compromise on one notion: that it is an extraordinary privilege to be invited into the lives of others, and an immense task to be worthy of their trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256297626-I8YHXT57QULJIT7Z6TW6/Natalie+Corrilo.jpg Class of 2019 - Natalie Corrilo My humble beginnings are something I cherish greatly, because without them I wouldn't be the person I am today. Both my parents immigrated from Mexico and because of their illegal status, healthcare was never an option. Throughout my life my family has always relied on public hospitals, community health centers, and the emergency department. Experiencing this type of adversity has made me aware of the immense demand for doctors who can provide quality healthcare to underprivileged communities. My white coat means that, as a current medical student and future doctor, I will care for the underserved patients who have been abandoned by our healthcare system; patients like my parents, my neighbors, my friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256289912-LPJGHHXVX4CRICGSE2EP/Nazifa+Rahman.jpg Class of 2019 - Nazifa Rahman My white coat is a humble reminder to me first and foremost of the responsibility I carry to serve and care for my future patients. It is an emblem of dedication, hard-work, and commitment. My white coat also gives me a greater sense of purpose. Medicine is about understanding and listening to other human beings just as much as it is about the study of human bodies. A medical school student just starting out in her career in medicine, when I put on my white coat, the newness of it gives me a paradoxical feeling of both pride and humility. From my 4th grade elementary school teacher who encouraged my love of learning to my college mentors to my most beloved supporters, my parents, I’m humbled by all of these role models who shaped who I am and allowed me the opportunity to contemplate what this white coat means. I hope to wear this humility and gratitude throughout my journey in medicine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256304622-31YPIYLKGSI7H0FG2RZD/Sarah+Schuessler.jpg Class of 2019 - Sarah Schuessler My medical education is, without a doubt, the most tremendous gift I have ever received. Every time I put on this white coat, I am reminded of how privileged I am to be where I am, and the responsibilities that accompany this privilege. On the day I received this coat and first took the Hippocratic Oath, I also made a commitment to share this gift with those who need it most. This skill set I am learning can potentially improve the lives of so many for whom healthcare is still, tragically, inaccessible. When I eventually swap out this coat for a longer one, I will carry this commitment to serve the underserved through my entire career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256298891-TN4WWUTKRUVMD3D6WNEJ/Serina+Lewis.jpg Class of 2019 - Serina Lewis My white coat represents resilience, and to be able to use my tenacity to be a healthcare advocate for my patients, particularly the underserved. My role as a future physician will involve a dependable partnership with my patients by working together to improve their health. Through reliable communication, I will be better able to support my patients, and offer more personalized care. With expanding my knowledge each year, my perception of the white coat has strengthened my understanding on the importance of a meaningful interaction with patients that will shape their lives in some way. These different patient interactions, including those with others in the healthcare field, will contribute to the progression of quality health services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256300920-2S8EVT6E2AAFGX7MBHEG/Thomas+Bigham.jpg Class of 2019 - Thomas Bigham I have been blessed with two role models who have exemplified selfless commitment to those in need. Everyday, I am thankful for having two parents who have worked tirelessly to help others. Growing up, I watched my father embody cura personalis as he spent long hours caring for and tending to the needs of his patients. Likewise, I witnessed my mother volunteer her time for the past twenty years as a full time elementary school teacher instilling the love of reading into her students all without pay. My parents' work ethic and passion to selflessly care for others has inspired me. Every time I wear my white coat, I wish to honor my parents and pay forward the blessings that I have been given. I look forward to a life of service to others where I can help those who truly are in need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1538256302168-C00GSQJ3SEF22CON11FR/Victor+Wang.jpg Class of 2019 - Victor Wang The white coat is a reminder for the practitioner and the patient that we share a common goal, to improve the patient's state of being. We as future physicians have an obligation to uphold patient safety, not as a priority that can be shifted, but a core value that forever remains in place. We have a duty to continually improve the quality of our service and interactions with the community we serve. Physicians have the power to make change, but we must see our patients as fellow human individuals. We must work together to uphold the trust of the people, advocate for their rights and needs, educate the masses, advance our best practices, and return the ill to a state of wellness to the best of our abilities. http://www.artsandmedicine.org/new-gallery daily 0.75 2020-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1585595703851-V7ZLKIFRW1UDX4UN23QZ/image-asset.jpeg Class of 2023 - Class of 2023 - My White Coat Means... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1585595703851-V7ZLKIFRW1UDX4UN23QZ/image-asset.jpeg Class of 2023 - Class of 2023 - My White Coat Means... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1586219373029-BRNDR7VWGCBAYQQ76MSK/IMG_0549+copy.jpg Class of 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1586219606961-S4GA1KFJHL4JFZX0AZXO/IMG_0624+copy.jpg Class of 2023 - Daniel Marchetti Wearing this white coat symbolizes both privilege and honor in that it is a privilege to support and advocate for people in their most vulnerable moments.

It represents a dedication to a path of learning, teaching, and healing and a commitment to the most intrinsic part of medicine – humanism. It means being present for and listening to my patients, and providing healing that does not end at their physical well-being, but transcends to include their emotional, economic, social and spiritual well-being. My white coat is a humble reminder of the responsibility I carry to care for and serve my future patients with compassion and empathy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571e71efcf80a145c26cdc71/1586220124297-1NEQ4U790Y7E5V2V9JBE/IMG_0514+copy.jpg Class of 2023 - Nikki Noe The white coat symbolizes the humbling opportunity to be there for patients at their most vulnerable times.

It is a reminder to address health disparities in local communities by caring for the whole person and advocating for the underserved.
