Made for Medicine Graduates Second Cohort in White Coat Ceremony

Last Friday, sixteen Franklin County 6th & 7th graders packed into the Columbus Medical Association along with their families to graduate from phase 1 of the CMA’s Made for Medicine program in a White Coat Ceremony. “The White Coat Ceremony is a right of passage and a journey toward a career of medicine.” Said Made for Medicine founder, Dr. Laura Espy-Bell, during the event “When you put it on, savor the moment.”

Made for Medicine is designed to support African American or Black middle and high school students with an interest in the field of medicine by providing them with critical foundational knowledge, hands-on learning, simulations, case study analyses, mentoring, and so much more.

See below for photos and a recording of the ceremony along with a video of the students talking about their time in the program.
