The White Coat Ceremony marks the beginning of your journey as a physician. It is a day to celebrate with your family and friends and your Noorda-COM faculty and staff. This event embodies the osteopathic traditions that will help you become the competent, confident, and compassionate physician to which you aspire to be.
This year, our keynote speaker will be former United States Surgeon General Jerome Adams, MD, MPH, FASA.
As the 20th U.S. Surgeon General and a prior member of the President’s Coronavirus Task Force, Dr. Jerome Adams has been at the forefront of America’s most pressing health challenges. A regular communicator on television, radio, and in print, Dr. Adams is an expert not only in the science, but also in communicating the science to the lay public and making it relevant to various audiences.
Dr. Adams was appointed as a Presidential Fellow and the Executive Director of Purdue University’s Health Equity Initiatives in October 2021. He is also a Distinguished Professor of Practice in the departments of Pharmacy Practice and Public Health. Dr. Adams is a licensed anesthesiologist and has a master’s degree in public health.
