Road to Graduation 2020
Members of the UF College of Medicine class of 2020 reach their dreams of becoming physicians
Spring 2020 — At academic institutions across the world, commencement celebrations will look a little different this year. Medical students will each huddle around their personal computers, watching their beloved faculty and leadership offer virtual well wishes. Loved ones will take photos and videos of the graduates from the safety of their own homes. Regardless of how the occasion is celebrated, the accomplishments of the brand-new physicians remain the same.
