Northeast Academy of Podiatric Medicine Sponsors White Coats

The sun was shining on August 1 in Independence, OH as new students were cloaked and recited their professional oath, surrounded by friends and family during the Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine 2029 White Coat Ceremony. The white coat symbolizes compassionate care and scientific proficiency – values that OHFAMA members carry day today. As a gesture of welcome, the new white coats were provided by the Northeast Academy of Podiatric Medicine.

“It was wonderful to see the future of our profession unfold before us in this beautiful ceremony. The tradition of the white coat ceremony embodies the true spirit of the care and passion we have for our patients. The Northeast Academy of Podiatric Medicine is honored to help support these students along their journey by providing the white coats for the future members of our profession, as we believe in supporting not only their education, but the bright future of podiatric medicine,” shared Northeast Academy President Dr. Joy Rowland.
