As a medical school student, there's no better feeling than knowing your hard work has payed off. In the medical world, the first right of passage comes when a medical student finally receives their white coat. Each semester, Saint James hosts a White Coat Ceremony to recognize those students transitioning from pre-clinical to clinical health sciences. During the ceremony, students are given a certificate of achievement, along with a long white lab coat, similar to one a doctor might wear. This is an exciting moment for students, parents and faculty. Check out some photos from our most recent ceremony on the St. Vincent campus.
