Dedication service for SM scheduled for February 13
The annual School of Medicine dedication service for first-year
students in the Loma Linda University School of Medicine is scheduled
for Friday, February 13, at 7:30 p.m. in Gentry Gymnasium. Randy Roberts,
DMin, senior pastor of the University Church of Seventh-day Adventist
will give the dedication address. Loma Linda University, Loma Linda University
Medical Center employees, and the public are cordially invited to attend.
Loma Linda's dedication service calls on students to commit themselves
to a life of service that is motivated by a commitment to God. The service includes
musical selections by students and a recitation of the School of Medicine Physician's
Oath. Each student receives a leather-bound Bible embossed with the Loma Linda
University School of Medicine name and emblem.
The first freshman dedication service was held in 1989 at the initiation of medical
students and has since become an annual tradition. Even though student attendance
is voluntary, between 85 and 90 percent of the first-year class typically attend.
The dedication comes at the end of family day when family members and friends
come from around the country and world to get a taste of medical school life,
and view the campus.
