They reflected on their preclinical journey, thanked mentors and the university, and acknowledged Dr. Yared Godefay for his guidance. Mr. Hafte Assefa received a recognition award on their behalf, offering congratulations and encouragement. Dr. Abraha Gebreegziabher emphasized resilience and preparing for future challenges, urging students to seek support from mentors, friends, and family. The event concluded with students donning white coats and stethoscopes, symbolizing their transition into clinical training.
