Florida Atlantic Celebrated the Largest Class of M.D. Graduates in its History

 
 
 
Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine held its commencement ceremony today for the class of 2026 - its largest in history, with 79 graduates.
 
 
 
“Today marks the culmination of years of discipline, sacrifice and growth – reflected in a historic class that is exceptionally prepared for what comes next. You are entering a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape shaped by innovation and AI, filled with both complexity and opportunity,” said Lewis S. Nelson, M.D., dean and chief of health affairs, Schmidt College of Medicine. “While technical knowledge will guide your decisions, it is human connection that will define your impact. Wherever your path leads, never lose sight of the question that matters most: not just ‘What’s wrong?’ but ‘What matters?’”
 
 
“Commencement reflects the perseverance, resilience and sense of purpose that have guided your journey,” said Jennifer Caceres, M.D., vice dean for medical education and professor of medicine at the Schmidt College of Medicine. “Today celebrates not only your achievements, but the physicians and leaders you have become. You leave here prepared with the knowledge, compassion and integrity to serve your patients and communities with excellence.”
