In 2005 author Jacqueline Marino and photojournalist Tim Harrison had the unprecedented opportunity to chronicle the experiences of three students as they learned to become doctors at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. In \u003cem\u003eWhite Coats, \u003c\/em\u003e Marino and Harrison bring readers into the classrooms, anatomy labs, and hospitals where the students take their first pulses, dissect their first cadavers, and deliver their first babies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarleny Franco, who moved from the Dominican Republic to Boston's Dominican projects when she was nine, must first overcome social and cultural barriers--and those she constructs herself.

Millie Gentry, a fashion model, tries to balance the demands of medical school with finding time to go out with friends and volunteer at the local free clinic.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese are personal stories, yet they reflect significant issues in medical education. Franco, Norton, and Gentry try to master an ever-increasing load of medical science, confront problems of professionalism, and learn the importance of empathy. Each must make personal sacrifices, including taking on crushing debt, pur- suing round-the-clock work, and neglecting family, friends, and health.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhite Coats\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on the human side of the transformation from student to doctor and will appeal to anyone interested in health care, medical education, and the hopes, struggles, and joys of aspiring doctors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJacqueline Marino\u003c\/strong\u003e is an assistant professor of journalism at Kent State University, where she teaches feature writing and other courses in the school's magazine sequence.
