White Coat Ceremony (WCC)
The white coat ceremony (WCC) is a ritual in some schools of medicine and other health-related fields that marks the student’s transition from the study of preclinical to clinical health sciences. At some schools, where students begin meeting patients early in their education, the white coat ceremony is held before the first year begins. It is an example of a matriculation. The ritual is a recent invention, first being popularized in the 1990s.
WCCs typically involve a formal “coating” of students.
