The traditional White Coat Ceremony of Acıbadem University School of Medicine was held on October 22, 2025, in the conference hall. New medical students took their first steps into the journey of medicine by donning their white coats, embroidered with their names and the university emblem, and receiving their stethoscopes from the Dean of the School of Medicine, Prof. Dr. Nadi Bakırcı.

Attended by families and faculty members, the event was coordinated by Dr. Milena Can Özkan, a graduate of our Faculty of Medicine and a current resident in the Department of Anatomy. Throughout the ceremony, Dr. Özkan presented a talk prepared by the faculty members of the Department of the History of Medicine and Ethics, highlighting the history and symbolic meaning of the white coat in the medical profession.
