Freshman medical students at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine received their first white coats, the traditional dress of physicians for more than 100 years, at the White Coat Ceremony on Oct. 1, 2012.
In the past, the White Coat Ceremony was held as medical students entered their junior year. However, changes in USA's curriculum pushed up the ceremony to coincide with earlier clinic hours.
