White Coat Ceremony

Monday, August 3, 2026

The College of Medicine will host the ceremony in the Pegasus Ballroom located on the University of Central Florida’s main campus.  The ceremony is a medical school tradition where students are coated by the Dean and recognized as colleagues in healthcare – our future Physician Knights.  UCF holds White Coat on the first day of class for first-year students.
