Mississippi State University-Meridian’s inaugural cohort of 19 Physician Assistant Studies students have earned the right for the program’s first white coats in a ceremony scheduled for Saturday [March 5]. The white coat ceremony marks a transition for Physician Assistant students from the classroom to the clinical setting.
After receiving their white coats students will take the Pledge of Professionalism in Medicine, stating their commitment to the adherence to the science and art of the practice of medicine.
Following the white coat ceremony, the Physician Assistant Studies students will begin rotations in clinical areas including internal medicine, family medicine, behavioral health, pediatrics, general surgery, emergency medicine and women’s health.
