Audiology celebrates White Coat Ceremony
Posted: October 9, 2014
ATSU’s Arizona School of Health Sciences (ASHS) Doctor of Audiology program celebrated its second-year students at the White Coat Ceremony held at the Arizona Golf Resort in Mesa on Oct. 4.
Rachel Friedman, AuD, ’08, keynote speaker for the event reminded students that “The white coat is symbolic of the responsibility, privilege and duty appropriate with your life’s work as a professional. The white coat also represents the learning, behavior, values and compassion that it has stood for through past decades and even centuries. You are now responsible to uphold the ethical and professional standards that go along with the art and science of medicine.”
A total of 12 students from the Class of 2017 received their white coats during the ceremony, which symbolizes the triumph and success of students completing their first didactic year and the beginning of hands-on clinical rotations.
