About the White Coat Ceremony
In an annual ceremony, first year students will receive their clinical white coats at the White Coat Ceremony.
During the ceremony, students from each campus will pledge their commitment to uphold the standards of tomorrow's healthcare team and preparing for their future as healthcare professionals.
Friends and family of students are cordially invited to attend. We ask that all guests review our updated security policy prior to arrival.
There will be no tickets and seating will be on a first come first serve basis.
