Signifying official induction into medical school training, the iconic short white coat is presented to students in a ceremony during the early part of their first year.
Speakers share their excitement and knowledge with the new first year students before students are invited up to the stage to receive their white coats. On stage, faculty members help students into their white coats for the first time while loved ones and peers look on with pride. Once all students are coated, the class oath is read. This ceremony is a very special event in the life of a medical student and we are so pleased to be able to organize and share this important moment with you.
