The White Coat Ceremony is an annual tradition marking the matriculating class of students entering the dental profession. It celebrates the choice to pursue a life in service to the health of society. During the Ceremony, University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry deans and faculty members cloak students in their first white coat as a symbol of the trust bestowed upon them to carry on the healing profession of dentistry.
The Ceremony will acknowledge and honor the DMD Class of 2028 and DMD Advanced Standing Class of 2026 students as they affirm their commitment to professionalism, humanism, integrity and ethics in dentistry.
