Final Update - Thank you!

September 08, 2017

Dear amazing White Coat donors,

Thank you once again for your tremendous support of our White Coat Sponsor Program.  Our students have been overwhelmed with your generosity, and are proud to report in our 11th year of this program, we reached our goal and hit a new record for number of donors and total raised! 

  • $25,768 raised, a 62% increase from the previous year!
  • 119 spectacular donors – members of our community, faculty, staff and alumni!
  • For the first time, you went above and beyond and raised $10,000 in student scholarships!

Students come to the UA College of Medicine – Phoenix with dreams, and with supporters like you, leave with direction, confidence and purpose.  Each and every one of you made an impact!  Because of you, all 80 students received their first white coat and got to experience a truly memorable ceremony surrounded by family and supporters. And now we are able to offer scholarships to promising students.  By your gifts and your actions, you’ve given them the encouragement and support to launch our future doctors on their path to becoming compassionate and competent physicians. 

Thank you again!  Please enjoy our highlight video here

The White Coat Ceremony marks the first time a medical student will don his or her white coat, the defining symbol of a physician. The class of 2021 will receive their white coats on Friday, July 21 of this year.

We have created five student profiles from our incoming class tell about their passion for medicine, what brought them to the College of Medicine - Phoenix, and what the white coat means to them.  We are excited to share their stories as they begin their medical school journey.  Our first student spotlight is on Kevin Gochenour, a flight paramedic and former volunteer firefighter, whose passion for medicine was solidified in 2012 after shadowing a pediatric intensivist.  To read Kevin's full story, please visit: http://phoenixmed.arizona.edu/about/news/white-coat-profile-kevin-gochenour
