Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ School of Medicine Students Receive First White Coat in Ceremony
Students in Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center’s (Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ) School of Medicine Class of 2028 received their first white coat and pledged their commitment to the medical profession at the White Coat Ceremony Friday (July 26) at the Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences.
The white coat is one of the most visible symbols of the health care profession. At the ceremony, Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ academic medical community members cloaked each of the 182 students with their first white coat. Students also recited a class-composed version of the ancient Oath of Hippocrates in which they pledged to lead lives of compassion, uprightness and honor.
