Dear Parents and Partners of the UC San Diego School of Medicine Class
of 2025,
We are very pleased that your loved one is joining the UC San Diego
School of Medicine community and we welcome you to our extended family.
I am writing now to invite you to attend the Parents and Partners
Orientation on Friday, September 3, 2021 at the School of Medicine.
The Parents and Partners Orientation is designed to help parents,
siblings, spouses and significant others better understand the medical
school experience. We hope you will be able to join us.
If you plan to attend the Parents and Partners Orientation, please register in advance using the link provided here: REGISTER
Following the Orientation, the School of Medicine’s White Coat Ceremony
will take place at 11:00 AM. The ceremony is where our new medical students recite the Oath of Hippocrates and receive their first white coats. We encourage family and friends who cannot attend in person to view the ceremony via livestream. The link will be provided prior to the event.
The
White Coat Ceremony reinforces the important values
and principles upon which the profession of Medicine is based and we
trust will mark the beginning of a long career of service for your loved
one.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Office
of Student Affairs at
somorient@ucsd.edu or 858.534.3700 with any
questions.
We know this is an exciting time for our new students and we trust it
also is for you. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely,
Michelle Daniel, M.D., MHPE, FACEP
Vice Dean for Medical Education
