Distinguished Alumni

Each year starting in 2000, in recognition that learning is a life-long pursuit, each year the Renaissance School of Medicine Alumni Board identifies graduates who are nominated and have demonstrated through professional development, research and/or community involvement, a desire to make a contribution to and a difference in our society. Recipients of these awards serve as role models for our students through their exceptional accomplishments. This outstanding commitment is acknowledged by the annual presentation of the Distinguished Alumni and Outstanding Recent Graduate Awards at the White Coat Ceremony.
