The Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry looks forward to welcoming students being admitted into the Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) Program at Western University, to a traditional White Coat Ceremony.
This milestone celebrates the transition to academic and clinical training, and serves as a symbolic welcome into the dental profession.
Guest Attendance
Students are welcome to invite friends and family members to the White Coat Ceremony. There is no limit on the number of guests who can attend the ceremony, therefore tickets are not issued for admittance. Our small number of students means there is ample seating in Alumni Hall.
