Dozens of medical school students at the University of Michigan staged a walkout this weekend in the midst of their White Coat Ceremony shortly after the keynote speaker – a known anti-abortion doctor – began their address.
Video footage of the annual ceremony held inside the Hill Auditorium at the Michigan institution showed Dr Kristin Collier, an assistant professor of medicine at the university and a self-proclaimed anti-abortion physician, beginning her address at the lectern as lines of white-coated students and some other guests began to file out of the building.
