The Doctor of Physical Therapy Program (DPT) is pleased to announce its White Coat and Oath Ceremony, on Friday, September 12, 2025.
This annual event celebrates each first-year student's entry into the profession with the presentation of a white lab coat. The "White Coat Ceremony" is a symbolic ceremony where the students, along with their family and friends in attendance, declare publicly and formally their personal and professional commitment to caring for patients/clients as student physical therapists. The DPT faculty members, supported by the University's Administration, also commit to educating and mentoring the students so that upon graduation the students are prepared to fully assume their responsibilities as moral and ethical physical therapists.
