Testimonial Dinner

A tradition in the making, a testimonial dinner and bequeathal ceremony was held in our school last March 21 to celebrate the the graduation of the pioneering batch of the Silliman University Medical School (SUMS). It was a proud moment for the school to produce for the first time a set of graduates, and it was a sight to see all of our teachers getting so excited to be wearing their togas. The teachers were even more numerous than the graduates themselves.

The ceremony started with a pictorial session, followed by the devotion, with bequeathal of the white-coat, stethoscope, and candle from the seniors to us juniors, in preparation for our clerkship in April 1. In most part of the program, the seniors prepared video presentations and speeches about their 4-year experiences in the medical school--their most memorable experiences, most embarrassing moments (almost all mentioned being scolded by tatay for being late), most fond memories, and even what they want to be in ten years. They had an awarding for each graduate which best describes them and which they themselves created.

Here are a few pictures of the said event.
