Among the speakers selected for this milestone event was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/urology\/directory\/kristy-borawski-md\/\">Dr. Kristy Borawski<\/a>, Professor of Urology, Residency Program Director for UNC Urology, and Director of the Learning Environment for Undergraduate Medical Education.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Borawski\u2019s invitation to speak at the White Coat Ceremony is an honor, reflecting her deep commitment to education and her influence within the UNC School of Medicine community. A respected physician, educator, and mentor, she brought both personal insight and professional wisdom to the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>In her remarks, Dr. Borawski reflected on the symbolism of the white coat, not as a superhero costume, as is often suggested, but as a representation of earned trust and transformation. \u201cYou are here today,\u201d she told the students, \u201cnot because of your DNA\u2026 but because of the years of hard work, dedication, and passion that have brought you to this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While she initially resisted the popular analogy comparing white coats to superhero capes, she came to embrace it through a new lens, emphasizing how both represent identity, transformation, purpose, and trust. Drawing on her own memories, she shared the full spectrum of emotions that accompany donning the coat for the first time: pride, gratitude, fear, and hope. \u201cIn case any of you are wondering,\u201d she reassured the class, \u201cyes, you do [belong]. And yes, you will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Central to her message was the idea of trust, \u00a0between students and their educators, between physicians and their patients, and within the healthcare team itself. The white coat, she explained, may be made of ordinary fabric, but it carries extraordinary meaning. \u201cIt represents the trust you have in us, we in you, and, most critically, your patients\u2019 trust in you and the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the Class of 2027 continues its journey through medical school, Dr. Borawski\u2019s words remain as timely as ever, a reminder that behind every white coat is a commitment not only to knowledge and skill, but to trust, empathy, and purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full ceremony including Dr. Borawski\u2019s talk below (starts at 13:00):<\/p>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.5.2 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/uncch.hosted.panopto.com\/Panopto\/Pages\/Embed.aspx?id=9bf8a7fb-8f27-4c50-8a38-b2090111ac93&#038;autoplay=false&#038;offerviewer=false&#038;showtitle=false&#038;showbrand=false&#038;captions=false&#038;start=783.186686&#038;interactivity=none\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\" style=\"border: 1px solid #464646;\" 0=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay\" aria-label=\"Panopto Embedded Video Player\" aria-description=\"2024 White Coat Ceremony\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>A Legacy of Leadership and Mentorship<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Borawski has long been recognized as a champion of medical education at UNC.
