White Coat
The UMHS White Coat Ceremony marks the entree of an incoming class of students into the medical profession. The premise is that medical professional life starts at the beginning of medical studies, not at qualification, and that medical students are effectively bound by the same professional commitments that bind practicing physicians. Enrolling students into the profession with the celebration of this right-of-passage serves to welcome them, affirms their new status, and emphasizes the importance of committing themselves to excellence. During the ceremony, faculty members cloak the new students in their first white coat as a symbol of the trust being placed on them to carry on the noble tradition of doctoring.
