Penn State College of Medicine recently held its 50th annual white coat ceremony to welcoming its incoming class of 152 future doctors. <\/p>\n
The medical school is located just outside Lancaster County and is affiliated with Penn State Hershey Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, which is located on the same campus. <\/p>\n
The class included 55 Pennsylvania residents, including several from Cumberland, Dauphin and Lancaster counties. <\/p>\n
The white coats marked their entrance to the medical profession as student physicians. <\/p>\n
The medical school said the students were selected from a pool of 8,615 applicants. The 82 women and 70 men had 71 different undergraduate majors, have been to more than 50 countries and speak more than 25 languages. <\/p>\n
It also noted that more than 40 percent of the incoming students identify as part of an ethnic minority -- and on a lighter note, that three play the ukulele. <\/p>\n
