University City High’s Biomedical program held its White Coat Ceremony on December 10th at New Life Church in La Jolla. This year, 62 UC students will be heading out to their internships starting in February and going to locations such as UCSD Medical Center, VA and Scripps Hospitals, Bellatrix Pharmaceuticals, Ethos Veterinary Health, and the La Jolla Institute of Immunology.
Janelle Aleksic who teaches the Biomedical Innovations course and coordinates all the internship placements along with Medical Interventions instructor, Jessica Bosch dawned Lab Coats to students who have been in the program for the last four years. This event is viewed as a “rite of passage” and the students have worked hard to get to the point of being prepared for this Work-Based Learning opportunity that will be remembered for a lifetime. Congratulations to all 62 Biomedical students!
