The Doctor of Physical Therapy Program is pleased to announce its White Coat and Oath Ceremony, on Friday,
September 13, 2024.
This annual event celebrates each
first-year student's entry into the profession with the presentation of a white
lab coat. The "White Coat Ceremony" is a symbolic ceremony where the
students, with their family, friends in attendance, declare publicly and
formally their personal and professional commitment to caring for
patients/clients as student physical therapists. The DPT faculty members,
supported by the University's Administration, also commit to educating and
mentoring the students so that upon graduation the students are prepared to
fully assume their responsibilities as moral and ethical physical
therapists.
