The Greater Louisville Medical Society’s annual Wear the White Coat program gives community leaders a behind-the-scenes look at the medical profession by pairing them with physician preceptors who they shadow in their practices. Through the experience, leaders from business, education, government, media and nonprofit organizations have the opportunity to exchange ideas for improving the health of the community. Alumni enjoy an ongoing relationship with GLMS and its physicians, including special events.
