RMCC Graduates Start their MD Journeys at uOttawa

2019-11-14

The University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine MD Program accepted four Military Medical Training Plan (MMTP) students into the MD2023 class this year.
All four of those students are RMCC graduates.  The picture depicts the students at the White Coat Ceremony held on 13 September, 2019. The White Coat Ceremony is a rite of passage for medical students. Our entire class recites the Professional Oath and a white coat is placed on each of our shoulders signifying our entrance into the medical profession and a lifelong journey of learning.

In the picture, from left to right, are:

1. Victor Pak, graduated in 2002 with a B.A. Political Science.
2. Sabra King (nee Gardner), graduated in 2013 with a B.Sc. Chemistry.
3. Sandy Lanzinger (nee Edmison), graduated in 2014 with a B.Sc. Chemistry.
4. Vincent Lamframboise, graduated in 2011 with a B.Eng. Chemical Engineering. 

Congratulations and good luck to our future doctors!
