More than 60 UND students are now officially doctors

Grand Forks, ND (WDAY TV) -- A group of UND students are now officially doctors.

61 people graduated from the program, that's recognized as the national leader in producing family physicians.

All of the graduates finished 4 years of medical education to earn their M-D degree, 2 of the years spent with practicing physicians in clinics and hospitals across the state.

James Miles, Doctor of Medicine degree, says, "Really kind of hard to believe, pretty surreal. It's exciting but scary at the same time because having M.D. behind your name, there's a lot of responsibilities with that. But I'm excited for the most part."

This was UND's 37th class in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
