Professional coating ceremony
marks transition into clinics

Members of the Class of 2013 were honored during the college’s traditional Professional Coating Ceremony, held May 13 at  UF’s Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. The ceremony recognizes the sophomore class for successful completion of the first two years of veterinary school and provides an opportunity for faculty and other mentors to present the students with professional white coats as a symbol of their transition into clinical rotations.
