The White Coat Ceremony originated in RCSI during the 1990s as a result of a Students’ Union request for an occasion to acknowledge the introduction of students into the Anatomy Room. It has since progressed to a formal, significant event to recognise professionalism for all our new students of Medicine, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy, Physician Associates and Advanced Therapeutic Technologies.

There are two ceremonies taking place on the evening of Wednesday, 2 October, both of which will be live-streamed from the RCSI website on the day.

All staff are welcome to attend one or both ceremonies.

• 4.30pm Ceremony 1: Foundation Year Physiotherapy & Medicine; Physician Associates; Graduate Entry Medicine
• 5.30pm Ceremony 2: Physiotherapy; Pharmacy; Direct Entry Medicine: Advanced Therapeutic Technologies
