White Coat Ceremony

White Coat Ceremony 2023

On Thursday 9 March, the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine celebrated the milestone achievement of the Veterinary Medicine (MVB) and Veterinary Nursing Classes of 2024 as they received their white coats in UCD's O'Reilly Hall.  We were delighted to be joined by our students' families and friends from all across Ireland and from as far afield as the USA.

The White Coat Ceremony is an important event in the School’s 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 Professor Michael Doherty, Dean & Head of the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine.  The event was live streamed for those who were not able to join us in person.
