School of Medicine Welcomes 2022 Incoming Classes

The Duke University School of Medicine welcomes incoming students from across the country and around the world as they start their health professions careers at the School of Medicine this month.  

 

First-year students in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program participated in a White Coat Ceremony on Aug. 5. Over 70% of this year’s class are women, and 29% are from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. 

The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program held a White Coat Ceremony in June to mark the transition of its students from the classroom to their clinical experience. The Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) program will welcome its incoming students with a convocation ceremony on Aug. 12, and the Physician Assistant (PA) program will hold a ceremony for its new students later this semester.
