Your milestones are an important part of your journey.
Embrace the future. Savor the moment.
You've worked hard to make it to where you are and every year during your tenure at the David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM) at UCLA there are opportunities to let loose and reflect on your achievements.
White Coat Ceremony
Every year, DGSOM hosts a White Coat Ceremony for incoming first-year students. This ceremony caps off the Base Camp course, ushering students into their first year of medical school.
The Service of Gratitude is an annual event held to honor, with sincere gratitude, the selfless legacy of the individuals who have donated their remains to DGSOM for the advancement of medical education and research.
Match Day is when medical students all over the country rip open their envelopes to learn where they have been accepted for residency. During the DGSOM Match Day, our medical students take their next steps as future leaders in health and medicine.
