Medical Students Walk Out of Speech by Pro-life Physician
Incoming medical students at the University of Michigan walked out of their White Coat Ceremony this weekend when a doctor known for her pro-life views took the stage to deliver the keynote address.
Dr. Kristin Collier is a pro-life assistant professor of medicine at University of Michigan and director of the University of Michigan Medical School Program on Health Spirituality and Religion. Students and activists previously pressured the administration to cancel her remarks.
A video posted to Twitter shows many students, donning their white coats, getting out of their seats and leaving the amphitheater when Collier took the stage. The video has accumulated over 12 million views since Sunday.

The White Coat Ceremony is an event held at many schools where students mark their transition into the field of medicine.
Beforehand, Collier tweeted that she felt “bolstered” by the support she was shown ahead of the ceremony that day.
