A new chapter begins. 🥼🩺🩻🩹

On Friday, August 28, SUNY Downstate College of Medicine welcomed the Class of 2030 at the 32nd Annual White Coat Ceremony, marking the beginning of their journey toward becoming physicians (and future members of the Alumni Association College of Medicine at SUNY Downstate).

We were especially proud to welcome Akeem Marsh, M.D. ’09, back to Downstate as this year’s keynote speaker. As an alumnus, psychiatrist, educator, author, and advocate, Dr. Marsh shared his perspective and reminded our newest students of the purpose behind the profession they are entering.

And, for the third consecutive year, the white coats were made possible by the generosity of our alumni and friends. We extend our heartfelt thanks to every donor who once again answered the call and sponsored a coat for a member of the Class of 2030.

Your generosity helps make this cherished Downstate tradition possible and welcomes our newest students into the profession from day one.

Congratulations, Class of 2030! Your journey starts here. 🥼🩹🩻🩺

🥼 We're almost there...and we need your help to finish strong.

Every physician remembers the moment they put on their first white coat.

This August, 210 members of the Class of 2030 will experience that same unforgettable milestone as they begin their journey into medicine at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine

Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends, 145 white coats have already been sponsored.

Only 65 remain.

For just $55, you can sponsor a student's first white coat and become part of one of the most meaningful days in their medical education. Your gift is more than a white coat... it is a message to a future physician that the SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University community believes in them from day one.

Let's finish what we've started and ensure that every member of the Class of 2030 receives the warm welcome they deserve.

🥼 145 sponsored.
🎯 Goal: 210.
💙 Only 65 to go.

Every coat sponsored is one more future physician welcomed into a tradition of compassion, excellence, and service.
