"Wearing a white coat is a moral
practice," said Dr. David Hirsh, associate
professor of medicine at Harvard Medical
School, in an address to CMU's first
class of 64 students in the College of
Medicine. "It's a human practice. Do
not let that white coat divide you from
human kind. … Bring your biggest
human self to other human beings."
