Tonight I attended the graduation ceremony for Armenian medical students from YSMU. International students had their own ceremony on a different night, given the size limitations of the the Opera House in Yerevan. The bright and high energy ceremony featured presentations to distinguished faculty, three popular Armenian pop singers (with the students swaying and clapping in the background), and a recitation of the Armenian version of a Hippocratic oath. Then it was all over, with hugs, tears, and a new traditional event of graduates presenting their parents with baskets of flowers.
