VCU White Coat Ceremony

Each year, new students in VCUs School of Medicine mark the beginning of their medical education with the White Coat Ceremony. During the ceremony, students are cloaked by the schools senior faculty as a precursor to their four-year journey to their medical career.

Virginia Commonwealth University and NBC-12 teamed up to create the series called "It's VCU" to showcase this urban university, located in the heart of Richmond. VCUs diverse students, faculty and programs, superior teaching, steady growth and groundbreaking research are shaping Richmond, the state and the region.
