🥼🩺 Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons welcomed 139 students on August 9th. Students come from 32 states and 60 different undergraduate institutions. 4% of the incoming class were the first generation in their family to attend college. VP&S Dean Katrina Armstrong, MD, addressed the students and emphasized the importance of humanism in medicine during a time of widespread discord and conflict: “You are joining this profession at an extraordinary time, but that opportunity can too often be undermined by social division, dysfunction, and anger that’s around us."
