2023 Commencement
At the School of Health Professions, Graduation Day not only marks the beginning of a new chapter for hundreds of hardworking students, it also delivers a glimpse into MD Anderson’s future workforce. That is why this milestone achievement is so important to our graduates, the School of Health Professions and MD Anderson.
This year the School of Health Professions is excited to announce we will be able to host a face to face commencement ceremony.
