One hundred thirty-nine students will take their first public step toward becoming pharmacists when they participate in the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Annual White Coat Ceremony in the Lippes Concert Hall on Aug. 27, 2015.
The White Coat Ceremony symbolizes passage into the initial stages of the profession of pharmacy practice and represents a contract for excellence in providing compassionate patient care.
This event also highlights the importance of scientific scholarship and emphasizes the highest principles of moral, ethical and legal conduct. UB PharmD students taking part in this tradition are welcomed to begin study among the ranks of pharmacy professionals.
During the "Calling of the Class," each of the students in the Class of 2019 are called to the stage to be presented with their coat by Karl D. Fiebelkorn, RPh, MBA, and UB senior associate dean for student, professional, and community affairs and associate professor in the department of pharmacy practice.
Amanda McEvoy, PharmD, '08, director of the Community Pharmacy Residency Program, clinical coordinator at Middleport Family Health Center and president-elect of the Pharmacists Association of Western New York (PAWNY), will give the keynote address.
