Peachey welcomed at Geisinger

Commonwealth School of Medicine

SCRANTON — Kyle Peachey, of Lewistown, was presented with a powerful symbol of the medical profession at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine’s 15th annual White Coat Ceremony. The event, welcoming the school’s Class of 2027, was held Aug. 5 in Scranton.

The Class of 2027’s 115 future doctors participated in a ceremony, held in common with virtually every other medical school in the nation, designed to welcome new medical students into the profession. Students recited an oath acknowledging their responsibilities as future physicians and their obligations to future patients. Then they were cloaked with the white coat – the mantle of the medical profession. White coats were provided by The Stanley J. Dudrick, M.D., and Alan G. Goldstein Endowed Fund.
