The Duke University School of Medicine welcomes more than 650 students from across the country and around the world as they start their health professions careers at the School of Medicine this month.
The Pathologists' Assistant Program held their White Coat Ceremony on Aug. 2, welcoming 8 new students to Duke. First-year students in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program participated in a White Coat Ceremony on Aug. 4, and the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program held a White Coat Ceremony in June to mark the transition of its students from the classroom to their clinical experience. The Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) program will welcome its incoming students with a convocation ceremony on Aug. 11. The Physician Assistant Program will hold its White Coat Ceremony for first-year students in January.
