A wonderful opportunity to encourage USA medical students as we celebrate this milestone in their journey to becoming physicians!

The USA Medical Alumni Association is proud to provide Whiddon COM students with their very first white coats. As a part of this special tradition, the alumni association includes a handwritten note card in the pocket of every white coat when they are presented to students at the White Coat Ceremony. The MAA needs your words of encouragement and advice for these notes. They request that you submit your own special message via email to medalum@southalabama.edu by June 9.
