OTSPhotos will be at St John’s University on January 20, 2026 for their White Coat Ceremony.
The White Coat Ceremony is a symbolic rite of passage for students of the healing arts that signifies a professional relationship with other colleagues who provide health care services. Contributing to the care and healing of others is a privilege and a responsibility. The white coat they wear is more than a familiar lab coat: it is a cloak of caring, compassion, and service.
The event emphasizes the importance of professionalism and compassionate care for the patient as well as several other elements:
Reaffirms the community’s support of the educational process that prepares future health providers for practice.
Students pledge their commitment to their profession and the health of the patients they serve.
Cloaking of students in their first white coats.
