The Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG) has warmly welcomed a new cohort of medical students from the United States and Puerto Rico. These students are embarking on their journey in the prestigious International Program of Medicine (PIM), also known as the School of Medicine. 

The welcoming ceremony was held at the International Campus and attended by academic and administrative authorities. During the event, the international students were introduced to the faculty and the wide range of services available at the university, including cultural, sports, and other activities that enhance the student experience at UAG. 

In his address, UAG's Vice Rector, Lic. Antonio Leaño del Castillo, highlighted the educational legacy of the institution and emphasized its commitment to comprehensive education and ethical values.
Dr. Kashif Ahmad, Dean of the School of Medicine, also spoke to the new students, offering words of welcome, orientation, and practical advice to optimize their learning and ensure a successful medical career.

Receiving Their First White Coat

The white coat is a symbol representing ethics, professionalism, and commitment to the medical profession. Each student received their coat in a special ceremony held at the University Gymnasium. 
“This symbolizes a new chapter in your lives,” stated Dr. Kashif Ahmad. 
The symbolic event also featured Dr. Mónica Egozcue, a distinguished PIM graduate from the class of 2004, currently a pulmonologist at Mayagüez Medical Center in Puerto Rico. 
“It is an honor to be here... historically, the white coat has been recognized as the universal symbol of medical professionals. The white color represents hope and is a symbol of truth, purity, and respect,” commented Dr. Egozcue. 
Following these remarks, each future doctor stepped forward to receive their first white coat. They then took the traditional Hippocratic Oath, committing to ethical, professional, and responsible practice in their profession.

Thus, a new generation of world-class innovative leaders begins their journey in UAG’s International Program of Medicine.
