This year’s Orientation will be July 27 –July 31, 2026. The White Coat Ceremony is currently scheduled for July 31, 2026. Tasks will require time commitment throughout May, June and July and full-time attendance and participation during the entire Orientation week and the White Coat Ceremony. The stipend is $1,230.
