Newly graduated doctors began their medical residencies on July 1. “When there is an issue that arises urgently in the hospital, because they are fast and young and always there, they are often first on the scene,” said Roseanne C. Berger, MD, senior associate dean for graduate medical education, “and they really expand the physician workforce and so they are major contributors.”

The Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences welcomed 190 new physicians at a long white coat ceremony held in the Center for Tomorrow to welcome first-year residents who will begin the next phase of their medical training.
