PESHAWAR – February 14 (ONLINE): Peshawar Medical College (PMC) on Monday organized ‘white coat ceremony’ to welcome the first year MBBS and BDS students into academics of their medical profession.
A ‘white coat ceremony’ is a rite of passage for medical students, and was created by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation in 1993. During the ceremony, a white coat is placed on each student’s shoulders, signifying their entrance into the medical profession.
Addressing ceremony, Prof. Dr. Hafeez-ur-Rahman, Dean Health Sciences urged upon the newly admitted students to focus on their academic and co-curricular activities to emerge as competent ethical health and dental professionals of the future.

“Commemorate this day as day of gratefulness to Almighty Allah who among thousands gave you the opportunity of serving the ailing humanity and thus grab successes for yourselves here and hereafter” said Rahman.
He asked students to spend their energies in academic and research with the objective to serve ailing humanity.
