The White Coat Ceremony symbolizes the beginning of a new journey for physician assistant students, a symbolic right of passage welcoming them into the medical profession.
Lipscomb's 2022 ceremony, however, held this February, celebrated not only the beginning of the journey for the Class of 2023, but the perseverance of the Class of 2022, who were unable to have their White Coat Ceremony in 2021 due to pandemic restrictions.
In addition to donning their white coats with their Lipscomb patches on the sleeve, students took the oath of a physician assistant to show their commitment to protect their patients and to uphold the standards of their profession.
Lipscomb's PA program was established in 2018 and the Class of 2023 is the fourth cohort of PA students.
