One of the students who participated in the white coat ceremony, Sawyer Almasi, explained that &#8220;the white coat ceremony gave me the feeling that I was not just a student anymore, I was now a student physical therapist. As I was given the white coat it reminded me why I wanted to be a physical therapist in the first place.&#8221; Dr. Emmanuel John, Director of the PT program, agreed and said that the white coat ceremony \u201cgives the students confidence and helps realign their priorities because when they are in the mode of school they can get tunnel vision, but this ceremony helps show them that they are welcomed into the profession and working towards something tangible.\u201d When asking DPT student Hillary Bibeau (\u201917) <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1916
