White Coat Ceremony
As part of a long historical tradition, students at Midwestern University receive their clinical white coats in our annual ceremony.
In an annual ceremony, first year students will receive their clinical white coats at the White Coat Ceremony.
During the ceremony, students from each campus will pledge their commitment to uphold the standards of tomorrow's healthcare team and preparing for their future as healthcare professionals.
Friends and family of students are welcome to attend. There will be no tickets and seating will be on a first come first serve basis. Doors open 1 hour before the ceremonies begin.
