Sandra Oh channels Cristina Yang as she becomes a ‘doctor for real’ at Dartmouth and tells grads to dance it out

She once played one of TV’s most beloved doctors, and now she’s one in real life—or sort of. Sandra Oh, known to millions as Dr Cristina Yang from Grey’s Anatomy, was awarded an honorary doctorate of arts by Dartmouth College over the weekend. In true Cristina fashion, she got the entire graduating class of 2025 to stand up and “dance it out” to David Guetta’s Titanium.

Oh, who’s also known for her BAFTA-winning role in Killing Eve, was the keynote speaker at the Ivy League college’s commencement ceremony on 15 June. Channelling her iconic character, she told graduates, “When the world gets hard, or when it’s good, especially when it’s good, like today, always take the time to dance it out.” The phrase is a nod to a beloved ritual between Cristina Yang and Meredith Grey in the long-running medical drama.
