The White Coat Ceremony welcomes incoming MD students to both Washington University and the medical profession. Students receive their white coats from School of Medicine faculty members, then take an oath — one they have written as a class — pledging honesty and integrity in their practice of medicine. Family and friends are invited to witness as students take their first symbolic step into the medical profession at Washington University.
