White Coat Ceremony
On Thursday 3 March 2022, the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine celebrated the milestone achievement of the Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Nursing Classes of 2023 as they received their white coats in UCD's O'Reilly Hall. The White Coat ceremony on 5 March 2020 was the last major School event to take place before lockdown. In 2021, the School organised a virtual event for students and we were delighted to be able to return to an in-person event for 2022. Over 160 Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Nursing students and their families and friends from all across Ireland and further afield joined us for what is one of the most popular events in the Vet School calendar. For the first time, the event was also live streamed for those who were unable to join us in person.
The White Coat Ceremony is an important event in the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine calendar as it marks the students' transition into clinical practice in the UCD Veterinary Hospital, and beyond, in the final year of their degree programmes. Our guest speaker at this year's White Coat Ceremony was Mr Eoin Ryan.
