VCOM Carolinas White Coat Ceremony Spring 2021

VCOM Carolinas White Coat Ceremony Spring 2021

The White Coat Ceremony is a rite of passage for first-year osteopathic medical students and signifies a commitment to the osteopathic profession and patient care. Friends and family can coat a student if they are a Doctor of Osteopathic medicine and join them to help celebrate. It is a psychological contract that stresses the importance of compassionate care for the patient and professionalism and scientific proficiency. The ceremony symbolizes the trust between physician and patient, compassion, and the purity of the medical profession’s purpose.

Ordering Regalia

You must order student regalia and family hooder regalia separately by following the instructions below. For example, please place your order for regalia. Then, go back and place the order for your family hooder regalia.

Regalia for Students
When ordering student regalia, the information you provide will help ensure that you receive appropriately sized garments. The cost of your regalia is covered by the graduation fee you have already paid and you will be able to keep it as a memento of your graduation from medical school. 

Regalia for Family Hooders
VCOM allows select family members to support you on stage as you are hooded during the graduation ceremony. While Provost Rawlins will present your hood and place it on you, certain family members are invited to be with you. This opportunity is only available to your spouse, parents, step-parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, and uncles, and only if they have a DO or MD degree. Cousins, family friends, mentors and family-like individuals are not included, and no other degrees are permitted. 

Please make checks payable to VCOM and send to:

VCOM, Attn: Lesa Bolin
350 Howard Street
Spartanburg, SC 29303

Regalia for Faculty
Faculty should reuse their regalia and not order a new set. However, new faculty or faculty that require a replacement can submit an order. When ordering faculty regalia, select your main campus and only submit 1 order, even if you are participating in multiple graduations. Please answer all questions and include the college from which you received your highest degree. Then, submit once you have completed the form.

If you have any questions regarding ordering regalia, please contact Lesa Bolin at 864-327-9871 or lbolin@carolinas.vcom.edu.
