White coat ceremony pictures

This last Friday we had our clinical transition ceremony. It was really fun to get our white coats and look ahead to working in the hospital wards next year.

I put the best picture at the top. This is me getting my white coat from my ICM II mentor, Sam. (See previous blog posts about ICM II mentoring system). Thanks to Jo, one of my classmates' husband, for taking this picture!


This is me with Raye Maestas, my underserved pathway mentor and inspiring person (see previous blog posts). It was really nice to be able to introduce my family to some of my teachers/mentors at school

Our mentor, Sam, is super healthy and bikes everywhere. Here he is duded up in his biking gear and meeting some of my family including my mom and my Aunt Deborah.
Here is me with my white coat on.
This is me and my friend Sarah (and our white coats!) with mentor, Sam. It was a fun evening!
Here is another shot of me walking across the stage. contrary to the look of the picture, I was not striking a random action pose. There was someone just out of the picture that I was about to shake hands with.



So, apparently I waddle when I walk. Who knew? I think it is one of those things that you are surprised when you hear a recording of your voice or see a video of yourself, because it is not usually how you see yourself. I did not imagine myself waddling, but now I know the truth.

Cool pictures! Congrats Christine for finishing another year of brutal medical school. :)

I hope we can hang out when I am back in town - I miss you! I'll try and give you a call later this week.
