At BU we did not have a white coat ceremony, but a pin ceremony. It was just a nice way to welcome you into the profession and we took an oath to adhere to the practice of dentistry in a moral and ethical manner.

The whitecoat ceremony originated a several years ago in medical schools and is now catching on with their dental counterparts and not every dental school has one. And, for what it's worth, Penn has one the weekend before our orientation.

UNLV white coat is the friday after your orientation week. It will be at Beam music hall at UNLV. Super cool ceremony.

What does it include? Las Vegas style's mass orgy party ?

Kentucky has theirs around September of first year y'all (trying to lose that "y'all" thing since I graduated). They give you the "long" coat with your name and university, but you kinda feel like an a$$ without the DMD while you are wearing it. Luckily, we were only required to sport it when we did our geriatric, orofacial pain, and OMFS rotations (only when you go on rounds). I lost mine soon after first year so I resorted to borrowing my classmate's and assumed my alter ego, Alireza, for those white-coat appearances. Most people did not notice, but the few who did were entertained (I am obviously not Persian)

Us first years at Indiana had our white coat ceremony today!

Yipee. Feels good to wear it, although I have four more years until I can truly feel happy.
