Oath/White Coat Ceremony – A new chapter in MBBS student’s Journey

“White Coat is a Trust of patients which are donned by Doctors”

Marking the beginning of the professional medical career of students, Fergana Medical College of Public Health conducted an Oath ceremony where students donned their white coats for the first time and took a pledge to serve humanity with honesty.

It was an overwhelmed feeling for the students wearing the white coat for the first time in front of teachers and mentors. These first-year medical students have accepted the mantle of the medical profession at their White Coat Ceremony.

They recited the conventional Hippocratic Oath which has been taken by all physicians pledging their allegiance to the profession, their compatriots, their seniors and their duty towards their patients.

Hippocrates is considered to be the father of modern medicine and this oath is taken by the medical profession to treat the ill in the best possible way, to keep the patient’s privacy and to teach what they have learned to the next generation.
