Resilience is in our DNA
The 15 White Coats represents a group of medical students determined to reinforce positive imagery in schools around the world by continuing a legacy of resilience. Our mission is to enrich accessible cultural storytelling, inspiration, and mentorship to the youth of tomorrow. We intend to do this by reimagining the imagery our children see, such that what they see reflects who they are and who they can become.
