The Faculty of Medicine at Beirut Arab University celebrated the White Coat Ceremony for 115 students at the university’s Beirut campus. This ceremony marks the transition of students from academic life to the professional field of medicine, symbolizing their commitment to uphold the highest standards of care and professionalism.


The Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Professor Wafaa El-Sehly, spoke about the significance of the occasion for the students, saying:

“Wearing the white coat is a symbolic moment that marks the true beginning of your journey into the world of medicine — a world of humanity and giving. It is a defining moment in your academic and professional path. The white coat is not just a uniform, but a pledge, an honor, a responsibility, and a mission.”


At the conclusion of the ceremony, the students donned their white coats, officially declaring their commitment during the upcoming years of training to care for and protect their patients.
