The Lincoln Memorial University-School of Medical Science (LMU-SMS) Physician Assistant (PA) Tampa will host the White Coat Ceremony on November 13, 2026, to mark the transition of PA students from didactic to clinical training.

The White Coat Ceremony is an important public demonstration of a student’s commitment to patient care and professionalism. Each student is presented and “robed” with his or her short white laboratory coat. The ceremony is a rite of passage signifying the student has demonstrated the qualities and abilities to provide competent care and can move on to the next phase of training.
