Your inner strength has no limits.\u201d<br \/>\nThe white coat ceremony is held at the start of each academic year, symbolizing a student\u2019s first step on their journey in medicine. After receiving their white coat, each student\u2019s name was read aloud as they walked across the stage to shake Varma\u2019s hand. Friends and family members applauded as the names were read, waving programs to fan away the midsummer heat.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: inline-flex;width: 48%\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_25329\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25329\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2023\/11\/White-Coat-2017_100.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"408\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25329\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First-year medical students recite the Hippocratic Oath during the White Coat Ceremony, held Aug. 4 on the Health Sciences Campus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<p>A physician\u2019s greatest teacher is often their patients, said keynote speaker Stephanie Zia, MD, clinical assistant professor of medicine (clinician educator) and assistant dean for career advising.<br \/>\n\u201cGet to know the patient behind the diagnosis,\u201d said Zia, also a Keck School graduate. \u201cAdvocate on their behalf.
