The members of the class of 2028 stand together on the steps of Healy Hall with their new white coats on

Welcome to Georgetown University School of Medicine, Class of 2028!

On August 2, family and friends of the 203 students in this year’s incoming class (pictured here on the steps of Healy Hall) gathered to celebrate the annual White Coat Ceremony, a time-honored tradition in medicine. During the formal ceremony, students received their short white coats — a symbolic milestone marking their entry into the health professions — and recited the Hippocratic Oath.
