Posted: May 28, 2025
A.T. Still University-Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (ATSU-KCOM) class of 2027 members marked their transition from didactic to clinical years with a special ceremony in April, and students pinned their peers with The Arnold P. Gold Foundation’s Humanism in Medicine pins, an organization which champions humanism in healthcare.
Margaret Wilson, DO, ’82, dean, provided the welcome, and alumna Jess Caine, DO, ’14, delivered the keynote remarks. Kathy Schroeder, standardized patient coordinator, spoke about encounters with the students, while Sara Funk, DPT, assistant professor, anatomy, provided the campus faculty farewell.
Students also recited the Class of 2027 Oath, and received notes of encouragement and support from ATSU-KCOM students currently on clinical rotations.
