Closing Remarks Gloria Richard-Davis, MD, MBA, NCMP, FACOG
HCAP–PNW Oath I pledge to dedicate myself fully to the study and preparation required for the MCAT and my future in medicine. I recognize the profound responsibility I hold— to science, to life, and to my community—and I will carry it with integrity and care. I promise to be curious and driven, always seeking to learn more and to look beyond what is expected. I will welcome growth, embrace challenges, and remain open to new ideas and opportunities to improve. Today and every day, I choose to be positive, to work with purpose, and to strive to leave a meaningful mark on the world.
Thank you to Dr. Lillian Robertson has graciously sponsored tonight’s reception for our White Coat Ceremony.
Leading the creation and advancement of health equity to achieve health justice.
