FAYETTEVILLE, NC—The Methodist University Physician Assistant (PA) Program will host its annual “White Coat Ceremony” on Friday, Aug. 17, 2007. The service will be held at Cedar Falls Baptist Church at 6:00 p.m.

The ceremony is an opportunity for PA students, families, and guests to acknowledge the commitment that students have made to the service of others in the field of health care. Donning the white coat—a symbol of the medical profession—is a rite of passage into the role of clinician.
