White Coat Order Form

The White Coat Ceremony is a necessary component of matriculation. You need to submit your white coat size information so there will be enough time to place the order. Family and friends are invited to attend the Ceremony with the student. These invited honored guests represent the emotional support and value system closest to the student. At the Ceremony, students are welcomed by their deans and other dignitaries. These respected leaders represent the value system of the school and the new profession the students are about to enter. Each student will be "cloaked" with his/her first white coat. The white coat is the mantle of the profession and is personally placed on the student's shoulders by individuals who believe in the student's ability to carry on the noble tradition of doctoring. It is a gift of faith and confidence personally delivered.

The white coat is a symbolic, non-verbal communication used to express and reaffirm a fundamental belief in a system that society observes. The authority of dress is serious and purposeful, not social, casual or random. It is a guide to patient and doctor on how to react. Hippocrates advised doctors how they should dress. The dress of healers of primitive societies was an important part of the paraphernalia of healing. The uniform should imply a purely professional interest. It must convey to even the most anxious a sense of seriousness and purpose that helps provide reassurance and confidence that his/her complaints will be dealt with competently and seriously. The white coat provides the milieu for you to become physicians. It is a cloak of compassion.

Please allow room for your regular attire to be worn under your white coat.
