    Here's a news article about our Convocation and White Coat Ceremony: https://www.ohio.edu/news/2024/08/heritage-college-osteopathic-medicine-convocation-speaker-tells-incoming-students-not

    One of the things I coordinate as part of this are Relative Coaters (parents, siblings, spouses - we even had a grandmother this year!) who are MDs or DOs. In a class of 256, we have 50 relative coaters. It's great to welcome an incoming student's family into our medical school family this way!
