Radiologic Sciences White Coat Convocation

White Coat Convocation

The White Coat Convocation is a symbolic rite of passage for students of the healing arts. For the radiologic sciences student, it signifies a professional relationship with other colleagues who provide health-care services. This ceremony reaffirms the medical community’s support of the educational process that prepares future health providers for practice. On this day, students pledge their commitment to the radiologic sciences profession and the health of the patients they serve. Contributing to the care and healing of others is a privilege and a responsibility. The White Coat worn by each radiologic  sciences student is more than a familiar lab coat: it is a cloak of caring, compassion and service.
