Emily Grob of New Ulm was among the first-year medical students, members of the Doctor of Medicine (MD) Class of 2023, to begin their journey to become physicians at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences (UND SMHS).

A White Coat Ceremony was held on Aug. 9, in the Alerus Center Ballroom, 1200 S. 42nd St., in Grand Forks where students receive their first white coats, the physician’s traditional garment, which have been donated by the North Dakota Medical Association. Students also recited the Oath of Hippocrates, a vow physicians have been taking for more than 2,000 years to uphold basic ethical principles of the medical profession. Each student received a lapel pin, donated by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, engraved with the phrase “Humanism in Medicine.”
