White Coat Ceremony
Tulane University School of Medicine students begin their medical careers with the White Coat Ceremony, which reflects the commitment and dedication they have made to their patients and themselves as they enter medical school. During the White Coat Ceremony, students receive a white coat and a Gold Humanism lapel pin, compliments of the Tulane Medical Alumni Association.
The moment a medical student puts on a white coat for the first time is more than a milestone; it is a powerful symbol of purpose, commitment and hope.
On Aug. 2, the Tulane University School of Medicine Class of 2030 will take that step, donning their white coats and embarking on their path to becoming physicians.
Featured as part of the program will be the Dr. Wallace B. Tomlinson Lecture and keynote address by Dr. Paul Finger (A&S '78, M '82).
Students arrive inspired to care for patients with compassion, serve their communities and meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.
You Can Be Part of That Moment
In addition, we invite you to send a personal note of encouragement. Your words of support will be tucked into a student's coat pocket as a reminder that their journey is rooted in community. Submit your message online in the comments field when you make your gift.
