Looking ahead for the class of 2020
Celebrating the UF College of Medicine's MD, PA, PhD and MS graduates
Amid cancellations of in-person awards banquets and other spring gatherings due to concerns surrounding COVID-19, the 2020 Match Day and commencement ceremonies were held virtually, and MD and PA diplomas were distributed by appointment. However, graduates celebrated their achievements with family, friends and faculty with an abundance of emotion and enthusiasm. The members of the UF College of Medicine class of 2020 will soon be on the front lines of tackling some of the most pressing health issues at patients’ bedsides and in research laboratories around the nation. We are proud of the accomplishments of our MD, PA, PhD and MS graduates, and we know the future of health care is in good hands. Best of luck, class of 2020, and remember: Once a Gator, always a Gator!
