VCOM-AUBURN HOLDS FIRST WHITE COAT CEREMONY

The very first White Coat Ceremony for VCOM-Auburn was held October 25, 2015 at the Auburn Arena. This was a proud day for the students and their families and friends as the students were honored with the white coats that they wear to represent the Osteopathic profession. This was also a symbolic day for VCOM’s administrators, faculty and staff. VCOM-Auburn students practiced casting and splinting in the first official procedural skills lab in the SIM Center. During these exercises, students get actual hands-on training in medical procedures. Students often remark about how much more they enjoy “learning by doing,” as opposed to learning with a book or computer. This casting and splinting event marked the first big training event that was held in the SIM Center.
