We just had our white coat ceremony for my class. We have ours after the 2nd year after we complete our boards and before we start clinics. When do the other schools do their white coat ceremonies?

its u again...:laugh:
 
Ours is pretty much right after our first quarter is finished. I think it was the first weekend of the 2nd quarter. So December of our first year, I think.
 
We have our white coat ceremony in Sept(?) of first year. We just had our rite of passage ceremony in April (second year) to commemorate our movement to the clinical phase of our education.

I personally think 2 very similar ceremonies is overkill and would have been fine with one. But some people get off to those sort of things, and I suppose that is just fine.
 
Temple does it at the end of second year in April.
 
Western had ours during Welcome Week before classes started. We have clinical classes that start the first month and the white coat is required.
 
Congratulations to you all!

Those of you entering your third year: Welcome to the clinical world👍.
