The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and Rose Parade are classic American traditions with floats and bands. With increasing health risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ) School of Medicine and Alumni Relations hosted a welcome parade Friday (July 31) for first-year medical students – replacing the traditional parade fanfare with stethoscopes, white coats and scrubs.

More than 160 medical students took part in the School of Medicine Welcome Parade. Steven L. Berk, M.D., Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ executive vice president and dean of the School of Medicine, said while the pandemic changed the yearly White Coat Ceremony and events provided for first-year medical students, the school wanted to welcome the students in some way.
