    LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Members of the Class of 2019 officially entered the University of Louisville School of Medicine at the White Coat Ceremony on Sunday, July 26. Faculty and medical community members welcomed 154 first-year medical students by presenting them with white coats. The students then recited the Declaration of Geneva, promising to serve humanity and honor the traditions of the medical profession.

    The coats, a gift from the Greater Louisville Medical Society, are shorter than the physicians’ coats, and are worn until the student graduates from medical school.
