Medical MomentSelfie Examination
SAY “MD”: First-year medical students line up for a selfie after a ceremony to formally welcome the MD Class of 2023 to the School of Medicine and Dentistry. During the annual Robert L. & Lillian H. Brent White Coat Ceremony, students receive the traditional lab jackets worn by physicians and medical scientists to symbolize that they’re joining their peers and predecessors in the profession. The 100 or so students in this year’s class were drawn from about 5,800 applicants and represent 25 states and 17 countries. Photograph by Adrian Kraus for the University of Rochester.
