The University of Louisville is thrilled to welcome you to the School of Medicine and we are looking forward to the fall semester and meeting all of you!

Orientation dates are: July 21st through July 25th, 2025 and attendance is mandatory for all incoming students..  We will make sure to include sessions and meetings that are informal to allow you ways to meet and socialize with your fellow classmates, mentors, and Advisory Deans.   A final orientation schedule will be emailed to all incoming medical students at the start of July 2025.

We will host the White Coat ceremony on Sunday July 27th, 2025 at the Kentucky International Convention Center.  This ceremony is always very well attended by family members, as they celebrate your transition into medical school. Students will be allowed to bring ten guests to the ceremony.

We are so excited to meet you, offer you a warm welcome, and allow you time to familiarize yourself with the school!  If you have any questions regarding orientation week or White Coat ceremony, please contact Cynthia Morse.
