Embarking on a journey
of lifelong learning

A smiling medicine student wears her white coat for the first time.Our white coat ceremonies mark a significant milestone for first-year medical, pharmacy and anesthesia assistant students, symbolizing their commitment to professionalism and lifelong learning. The community supports their journey as they pledge to provide competent, caring and compassionate health care.

The white coat placed on each future health care professional is more than a familiar lab coat; it is a symbol of competence, communication, caring, curiosity, character and community. This day is celebrated by students, their families, alumni, faculty and staff.
