The Faculty of Medicine at Beirut Arab University celebrated the presentation of the "White Coat" to 120 students at the university’s Beirut campus. This ceremony marks the students' transition from academic life to the professional medical field, underscoring their commitment to upholding the highest standards of care and professionalism.

 The event began with a short film about the faculty, followed by remarks from the ceremony's host, Dr. Mazen Zaylaa, who said: "Wear your white coats today with pride, and always remember that their true value lies not in their color, nor in the title you will hold, but in the knowledge you will acquire, the ethics you will embody, and the compassion you will offer to every patient who places their trust in your hands."

 On behalf of his peers, student Adam Rawas delivered a speech, stating: "As we step resolutely toward our next phase, we believe this coat carries not only our joy, but also the trust of everyone who believed in us, the prayers of everyone who supported us, and the responsibility toward every person we will meet along our path. Let us wear it as it deserves with unceasing knowledge, a heart that never loses its humanity, and a hand always extended to ease the pain of others."

 For her part, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine Professor Wafaa El-Sehly, addressed the students, saying: "Wearing the 'White Coat' is not merely an outfit, nor a ceremonial ritual; it is a formal announcement of your entry into the medical world, which overflows with humanity. Every patient will place in your hands their health, their pain, and sometimes their life and, most importantly, their trust in you."

 Furthermore, the Head of the Department of Basic Medical Sciences Professor Madiha Hassan, remarked in her address: "The white coat is not just a symbolic garment, but a pledge of responsibility and integrity, and a mark of the trust that society places in you. I advise you to make compassion and ethical commitment constant companions on your journey, to ensure your knowledge serves the patient, and to stand as role models of dedication and giving."

 In conclusion, the students donned their white coats, declaring their commitment throughout their upcoming training years to patients, their care, and their well-being.
