You may have seen the recent AAMCNews commentary in which Dr. Levin and I discuss the importance of continuing to hold white coat ceremonies. We want to make sure you saw these resources produced by the AAMC and the Gold Foundation that can assist your medical schools in effectively transitioning this rite of passage to a virtual experience:
- Webinar archive: Recorded on June 30, this webinar discusses options for virtual white coat ceremonies
- Toolkit: PowerPoint slides, a press release template, and other optional materials to assist with producing a white coat ceremony
- Pre-recorded keynote address: Medical schools can use this recording from Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA, the 19th surgeon general of the United States, in their own ceremonies (video will be added to the toolkit mentioned above)
Have a great weekend, all!
