For someone who has been living and researching vet school for the past 3 years, I feel silly asking as though I should know, but:
What is the importance of the White Coat/Coating Ceremony before starting vet school?
I didn't even know it existed until a former co-worker went to St.Georges last year and had one of our vets fly in for her White Coat Ceremony, and Mississippi State just let us know what the date is for our upcoming one. Is this where we swear the oath? Do friends and family usually attend? Do all the schools have them? It seems so overconfident to throw a party for us before we even attempt to tackle vet school!
