The 64 members of the incoming Class of ’17 in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at FAU each received a doctor’s white coat in a ceremonial rite of passage. The event formally marked their entry into the profession. ‘The power of the symbolic white coat resides in how you conduct yourself while wearing it as a medical student and later as a physician,’ college Dean Dr. Phillip Boiselle said. ‘It is a constant reminder of your professional and ethical obligations as a physician.’ ABOVE: (l-r) Dr. and Ellen Boiselle, with Dr. Patricia Anastasio and Elaine Van der Put.
