LEXINGTON, KY (Aug. 6, 1999) -- The 95 members
of the University of Kentucky College of Medicine’s Class of 2003 marked the
beginning of their medical education today at UK’s Memorial Hall. During the
ceremony, UK medical students received their short white coats that they wear while seeing
patients. The first-year students took an "Affirmation for Students of
Medicine," pledging a relationship of compassion and respect with patients, teachers
and colleagues.
UK’s Medical Alumni Association co-sponsored the annual ceremony, which is
designed to encourage humanism in medicine. Richard Miles, M.D., past president of the
Kentucky Academy of Family Physicians, was the speaker.
The class consists of 41 women and 54 men; four African Americans; and 43 from rural
areas (including 23 from rural Appalachia). Eighty-eight are Kentucky residents. The
students’ ages range from 20-36. |
