This year’s Green Coat Ceremony for future physicians who make up the 2nd year Yours to Lose cohort was held this morning in the Connor Ballroom at MSSU.
The event was be emceed by Dr. James Donelson, a faculty member and part of the Yours to Lose selection committee, and included remarks from MSSU President Dr. Alan Marble and other representatives of Missouri Southern and Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.
The Yours to Lose – Advanced Medical School Acceptance Program is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind partnership with KCU. It allows a cohort of Missouri Southern students to be admitted to KCU’s new Joplin medical school at the same time they are accepted to MSSU.
As pre-med students, they will obtain their bachelor’s degree in biology during an accelerated, three-year course of study before seamlessly transitioning into their first year of medical school. The program will not require them to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).
The coating ceremony marks the start of the students’ academic career and early acceptance into medical school.
This year’s class consists of:
Tate Dennis…………..Humansville, Missouri
Daniella Duban………….Florissant, Missouri
Daniel Estep………………Joplin, Missouri (College Heights HS)
