D., Ph.D., echoed Cover&#8217;s comments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You are all professionals now,&#8221; Dr. Ueda said, &#8220;and you have white coats to symbolize your career&#8217;s journey.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In the <B>College of Medicine,<\/B> UNMC alumnus Don Gibbens of Lincoln watched as his son, Jacob, received his white coat on Aug. 24. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The white coat ceremony is a nice starting point for medical education,&#8221; said Gibbens, who remembers having to buy his own coat before his third year of medicine. &#8220;The white coat tells the students it&#8217;s a privilege to become a physician and not everyone is offered that privilege.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>True indeed, as 126 first-year medical students were admitted out of approximately 1,400 applications, said UNMC College of Medicine Dean John Gollan, M.D., Ph.D. <\/p>\n<p>The Class of 2011 &#8212; which includes students from 12 different Nebraska colleges and 22 different states &#8212; has a higher percentage of males (62 percent) than females (38 percent). <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a switch from the past few years,&#8221; Dr. Gollan said, when male-female ratios were more similar. <\/p>\n<p>For the first time, College of Medicine alumni &#8212; 146 in all &#8212; sponsored the students&#8217; white coats. Students were encouraged to contact their sponsor or sponsors, whose names were tucked inside the pocket of their white coats. About 113 pharmacy alumni also sponsored white coats &#8212; the second straight year that college conducted a white-coat sponsorship program.<\/p>\n<p>For Gibben&#8217;s son, the ceremony marked the realization of a long-sought goal. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Up until now, it&#8217;s been a dream,&#8221; Jacob Gibbens said. &#8220;Once you put the white coat on it symbolizes the hard work that&#8217;s about to start.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <B>UNMC College of Dentistry<\/B> in Lincoln recently welcomed 69 new students to its campus. Of those, 45 students are pursuing a doctorate of dental sciences degree and 24 are dental hygiene students. Their white coat ceremony was Aug. 24.<\/p>\n<p>Students in the <B>Clinical Laboratory Science<\/B> program took their professional oath after a pinning ceremony on Aug. 7. The Class of 2008 consists of 41 students, all of whom were on campus this summer for initial courses and lab training. <\/p>\n<p>The group members are now entering their clinical rotations in labs and hospitals in Omaha (The Nebraska Medical Center and Creighton University Medical Center), Grand Island, Hastings, Kearny, Norfolk, North Platte and Sioux Falls, as well as Iowa City, Iowa, Columbia, Mo., and Casper, Wyo.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professionalism means embracing all aspects of one&#8217;s chosen field.
