White Coat Ceremony

The White Coat Ceremony is a time-honored tradition that all first-year medical students remember with fondness as they begin their calling as future health care professionals. One of every medical student’s earliest and best memories is putting on their white coat for the first time with classmates. We eagerly await the opportunity to welcome our inaugural class of medical students to the UT Tyler School of Medicine. We are excited as they prepare to take part in this rite of passage and begin their transformational medical education experience.

We offer you the opportunity to participate in this historic and memorable occasion by sponsoring a medical student’s white coat. For each student, knowing their coat was personally sponsored by a supportive donor like yourself allows them to both see and feel your support on their journey to becoming a medical professional each time they put on their white coat.

To learn more about sponsoring a student’s white coat, please contact Candice Christian at Candice.Christian@uthct.edu or call her at 903-877-7047.
