Orientation is a wonderful time for School of Medicine to welcome our new class of future physicians. The weeklong activities conclude with the annual White Coat Ceremony. It is our privilege to work with you over the course of your medical education.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Student Affairs Office at (858) 534-3700 or by email.

White Coat Ceremony

UC San Diego School of Medicine celebrates each entering class with a White Coat Ceremony held at the Epstein Family Amphitheater. This special time commemorates the beginning of the medical school journey.
