How Has Covid-19 Affected The Medical White coat ceremony?

The Covid 19 pandemic has changed the lives and habits of everyone. This includes med students and med schools as well. Of course, this standard rite of passage into the profession and a career in medicine can not be held as a public event. Instead, most Medical Programs will use videos to document the traditional act of first putting on the white lab coat and reciting of the Hippocratic Oath. This will thus become a virtual White coat ceremony, signifying the beginning of medical careers for many students at most schools of medicine across the country.
