On 15th September the eighth White Coat Ceremony was organised at the University of Pécs Medical School in the Aula of the main building. During the ceremony, students who started their pre-clinical studies received and put on the white coat, the symbol of the medical profession.
“The logo embroidered on the coats does not only show belonging, but also the faith others put in us. Now it is our turn to show that we are worthy of that faith, and we have to continue our studies with the best of our knowledge, determined and humble” – added Alexander von Thadden.
„The year opening ceremony meant that we could start our studies, the White Coat Ceremony signals that now we really are medical students” – said Woojae Jung, who came to the English program from South Korea.
“Both my parents and grandparents are doctors, so I have been surrounded by medicine my whole life. Conversations at home were often centred around medicine and cases, and I was interested in them even as a small child, and they made me curious about the human body” – says Pytel Panna, third year medical student. She has made the decision in her childhood to continue the family tradition; help and heal people, and influence her surroundings positively.
In general, we can say that the White Coat Ceremony moves every student while also filling them with pride. They can all feel that the white coat does not only symbolise motivation, but also their main mission: becoming a doctor.
