On Friday I received my white coat. Over the past 15 years, White Coat ceremonies have grown to symbolize the beginning of medical students' journey in the field of health care. The white coat itself brings a sort of power. It's amazing how much respect the garment grants its owner. Though I hardly feel worthy of the authority for which the coat stands, I look forward to growing into what it represents over the next four years. I will wear my coat on Wednesday when I head to my first meeting with my preceptor - a pediatrician (yay!) all the way out in Kingwood (ick). Wednesday is also the day of my first test. The diagnostic exam marks the beginning of new med school material for me. Here we go!!!
