Nishant Modi and Sahil Pandya were two of 108 doctor of medicine students who recently received the first symbol of their new profession at The Commonwealth Medical College eighth annual white coat ceremony for the Class of 2020 in Scranton.

The Class of 2020’s 108 future doctors participated in the ceremony, held in common with virtually every other medical in the nation, designed to welcome new medical students into the profession. Students recited an oath acknowledging their responsibilities as future physicians and their obligations to future patients.

Then they were cloaked with the white coat, the mantle of the medical profession, by a member of TCMC’s faculty.

The Commonwealth Medical College is one of the nation’s newest fully accredited medical colleges and offers a community-based model of medical education with campuses in Scranton, Sayre, Wilkes-Barre and Williamsport.
