This week, millions of people shared their selfies in celebration of #NationalSelfieDay. Among those participating were medical students, including some of our very own ED to MED Campus Ambassadors. Osteopathic medical students across the country posted photos in their white coats on social media to showcase the faces of the future physician workforce.
We thank these strong advocates who stand up and make their voices heard on how graduate student debt impacts their lives. Here’s a brief recap of some our favorite selfies from medical students participating in #NationalSelfieDay.
