Med School - Week One Done

Austin finished his first week of medical school! He was really excited to start and is loving it so far. There are many things to get during the first week like books, scrubs, a stethoscope and other scopes, white coat, badge, etc.

Here is Austin trying on his scrubs:



This is his favorite part about them:


On Friday night there was a White Coat Ceremony in Royce Hall at UCLA. This is when the students receive their white coats which represent humanism in medicine and also take the Medical Oath.

Here is Austin receiving his white coat (aka "being cloaked"):




The two of us after the ceremony:


Lots of family came to support Austin (including Ryan and Christian who were more interested in finding the food than taking pictures):


I'm so proud of Austin--he has worked VERY hard to get here!
