It is common practice among most U.S. medical schools to conduct a white coat ceremony to initiate medical students into the medical profession. White represents purity, healing and the professional ideals of the medical profession that focus on compassionate caregiving. The long white coat is the quintessential symbol of a physician and conveys to patients and the public the wearer鈥檚 identity as a physician.
The short white coat indicates the wearer鈥檚 status as a medical student or student doctor. The white coat ceremony tradition among medical schools was led by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation in 1993 to promote humanism in medicine. The Gold Foundation provides a gold pin to our student doctors to wear on their white coats to symbolize commitment to providing compassionate and competent patient care. As a further initiation into the osteopathic medical profession, the KYCOM White Coat Ceremony traditionally includes recitation of its version of the osteopathic medical profession鈥檚 Pledge of Commitment.
The University of Pikeville – Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine celebrated the Class of 2028’s White Coat Ceremony on Saturday, September 28 at 2:00p.m.
