VCOM Carolinas White Coat Ceremony Spring 2021

VCOM Carolinas White Coat Ceremony Spring 2021

The White Coat Ceremony is a rite of passage for first-year osteopathic medical students and signifies a commitment to the osteopathic profession and patient care. Friends and family can coat a student if they are a Doctor of Osteopathic medicine and join them to help celebrate. It is a psychological contract that stresses the importance of compassionate care for the patient and professionalism and scientific proficiency. The ceremony symbolizes the trust between physician and patient, compassion, and the purity of the medical profession’s purpose.

Regalia for Family Hooders

VCOM allows select family members to support you on stage as you are hooded during the graduation ceremony. While Provost Rawlins will present your hood and place it on you, certain family members are invited to be with you. This opportunity is only available to your spouse, parents, step-parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, and uncles, and only if they have a DO or MD degree. Cousins, family friends, mentors and family-like individuals are not included, and no other degrees are permitted.

Regalia for Faculty

Faculty should reuse their regalia and not order a new set. However, new faculty or faculty that require a replacement can submit an order. When ordering faculty regalia, select your main campus and only submit 1 order, even if you are participating in multiple graduations. Please answer all questions and include the college from which you received your highest degree. Then, submit once you have completed the form.
