Our Year 4 Optometry students had their White Coat Ceremony virtually on 14 October 2020. In an exceptional time during the COVID-19 pandemic, the School held the first virtual ceremony by presenting the compilation of white coat presentation videos and students’ pledge of optometry oath. We wish the participating students a fruitful clinical learning experience ahead!
Prof. Chi-ho To, Head of School shared in his welcoming remarks that he hoped students’ professional call to service would help a lot of patients and it would also bring utmost satisfaction through their interaction with patients.
Prof. George Woo, Emeritus Professor and Senior Advisor, reminded students in his opening remarks that the white coat symbolizes clinical service and patient care. It shows students’ commitment to transform themselves into a health care professionals with integrity - a professional in whom patients place their trust.
