NEW DOCTORS GRADUATING THIS WEEKEND
Date: May 16, 2008
Several members of the Class of 2008
Fifty-six medical students will become physicians this weekend, as they graduate from the John A. Burns School of Medicine.
The Class of 2008 endured a flood in their freshman year, 2004, which devestated most of their campus at Manoa. They toughed it out, holding classes in temporary digs and even group studies at coffee shops. Then they moved into the school's new $160 million Kaka'ako campus in 2005. The weekend features events both Saturday and Sunday.
