White Coat
The white coat ceremony is a rite of passage in your career as a healthcare provider. At Touro Nevada, it is understood that the white coat has long been a symbol of compassion, competency, and caring, which you will now represent. This ceremony is your moment to shine.
History
The white coat has been a symbol for healers, inspiring trust and relief in our society for hundreds of years. Your white coat will remind your patients of the time-honored profession that you have mastered and will provoke faith in your expertise.
This ceremony will honor the tradition and history of the white coat while celebrating the education and credentials that you have earned. When the Dean shakes your hand and places your coat on your shoulders, you will join a respected family of healthcare providers as you begin your professional career.
