The PCOM South Georgia Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) Program White Coat Ceremony for the Class of 2029 will take place on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. at University of Georgia Tifton Campus Conference Center in Tifton, GA.
PCOM South Georgia's osteopathic medical students will celebrate with friends, family
and faculty as they don their physician white coats, recite their class mission statement
and hear from class chairs, program directors and other speakers. The white coat ceremony
marks an important milestone in welcoming students into the osteopathic profession.
The white coat ceremony signifies a rite of passage for first-year medical students in their transition toward patient care. The ceremony establishes a commitment to the osteopathic profession and patient care. The white coat itself symbolizes the trust between doctor and patient and reminds physicians of their duty to practice medicine with professionalism and integrity. The coat represents compassion, humanism, scientific proficiency and responsibility when diagnosing and treating patients.
