The White Coat Ceremony

The ceremony of the white coat is "nice." I think it does, in retrospect, make a psychological contract of professionalism and responsibility.
I never got to partake in a ceremony.
Moreover, I don't remember any other formality than an upper level student pointing and saying, "pick up your white coat over there."
It was next to the coke machine next to where they handed out the free stethoscope with a comment, "They're crackin' down on freebies, so this is the last year they give 'em out." She was refering to the stethoscope which had been funded by a pharmaceutical company.
