The Arnold P. Gold Foundation White Coat Ceremony welcomes entering medical students and helps establish a psychological contract for the practice of medicine.
The event emphasizes the importance of compassionate care for the patient as well as scientific proficiency and includes several elements:
At the ceremony, students are welcomed by their deans, or other respected leaders who represent the value system of the school and the new profession the students are about to enter.
The cloaking with the white coat—the mantle of the medical profession—is a hands-on experience that underscores the bonding process. It is personally placed on each student's shoulders by individuals who believe in the students’ ability to carry on the noble tradition of doctoring. It is a personally delivered gift of faith, confidence and compassion.
The Class of 2028 White Coat Ceremony is scheduled to take place on Friday July 26, 2024 at 10am at the Aronoff Center for the Arts (650 Walnut St, Cincinnati, OH 45202). The White Coat ceremony is an important milestone in medical education and is the formal induction into medical school. Welcome to our new Medcats!
