JOIN THE
PRESTIGIOUS
WEAR THE WHITE
COAT PROGRAM!
This fall, GLMS will proudly host the 7th annual Wear the White
Coat program, giving business and community leaders the
unique opportunity to shadow a physician preceptor for a day.
GLMS wants you as a preceptor!
The program begins Thursday, October 5 with breakfast at
the Louisville Water Tower. There, preceptors and community
leaders will be introduced and schedule a day of shadowing.
Following individual shadowing sessions, a reception and dinner
will be held on the evening of Wednesday, November 8.
Wear the White Coat is an excellent opportunity for physicians
to get involved and network with other Louisville community
leaders. Preceptors and community participants have repeatedly
praised the program for allowing a window behind the scenes of
practicing physicians. Please share your time to show someone
how incredible it is to be a physician.
To volunteer as a physician preceptor, contact Membership
Coordinator McKenna Byerley at [email protected]
