GCM holds its first White Coat ceremony of the year welcoming a batch of fourth year

students into the clerkship which is a critical stage in the medical education process that

normally occurs in the final years of medical school. It is a time of hands-on clinical

training in which medical students move from classroom instruction to real-world patient

care, supervised by experienced physicians and healthcare workers.

The event is considered a significant milestone for the students as it represents the start

of a doctor's journey and underlines the ethical duties and commitment they must

maintain.

The white coat denotes purity, professionalism, and compassion, all of which doctors

should strive for during their employment.

It represents the patients' trust in them and serves as a reminder of their responsibility

to offer high-quality care.

The White Coat Ceremony is a significant rite of passage for prospective physicians. It

not only commemorates the beginning of their journey into medicine, but it also serves

as a reminder of doctors' immense responsibility for patient care and the necessity to

uphold these beliefs throughout their careers.
