Today, 60 students took part in University Hospitals’ White Coat Ceremony, where the teenagers received the same garment worn by professionals.
The event is part of UH’s Health Scholars program, which allows students to accompany and learn from seasoned doctors.
Surgeon-in-Chief at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital Dr. Edward M Barksdale Jr. spoke to this year’s cohort before the ceremony.“I think some people may find their inspiration when they put the coat on, when they see their peers with the white coat on,” he said. Byrd can’t wait to be a part of it: “It’s the white coats that the doctors wear! I’m about to be Dr. Byrd.”It provided an opportunity for Dr. Barksdale to encourage his summer mentees to reflect, and consider “how we can move forward to create conditions in this country that bring about justice.”
Students in the program hope to remind others that anything is possible, and to never give up on a dream.
