College of Medicine

The white coat is a powerful symbol of both professional competence and human compassion. Florida State University College of Medicine marks this symbolic beginning of a medical student with the annual White Coat Ceremony. Each member of the first year class will be presented with the traditional white coat in the presence of family, faculty and staff.

FSU Medical Alumni also will present Distinguished Alumni Awards to graduates of the College of Medicine and the Program in Medical Sciences (PIMS). The Distinguished Alumni Award is awarded to graduates who demonstrate the highest principles of the medical profession with outstanding contributions in their service to the community, the profession, and to the FSU College of Medicine.
