Celebrating the Class of 2028 White Coat Ceremony was a wonderful reminder of the journey ahead. Surrounded by friends and family, our students stepped into this next chapter with excitement and determination. The white coat symbolizes more than entry into the profession. It represents a commitment to care, connection, and lifelong learning.
