Abstract
A white coat ceremony is held to honor each medical school class as they transition from the study of preclinical medicine to clinical medicine. This prestigious milestone is a turning point in their progress toward becoming medical doctors. White coat ceremonies are held in many institutions across the country to signify each student's passage from the realm of strictly academic learning to one of clinical experience.
