The Class of 2027 stands as a group in their white coats on the steps of Healy Hall

Welcome, Georgetown University School of Medicine Class of 2027!

Surrounded by family and mentors, the 201 members of the incoming Class of 2027 (pictured here on the steps of Healy Hall) donned their white coats for the first time and recited the Hippocratic Oath at this year’s White Coat Ceremony, the traditional start to their medical education. “We’re honored to walk with you on this next step in the journey of physicianship,” said Lee Jones, MD, dean for medical education, during the ceremony. “You are ready. We will teach you. We will learn with you.”
