About the White Coat Ceremony
The white coat ceremony is an important tradition in the health professions, marking the transition from student to future health professional. While putting on the white coat signifies this change, it also represents a powerful transformation. The white coat is a symbol of aspiring veterinarians’ commitment to maintaining pure intentions and prioritizing the well-being of their patients. Our event recognizes the symbolic significance of the white coat ceremony and believes it plays a significant role in celebrating our students as they begin their final year of clinical rotations.
