On January 20, 2022, MCO welcomed its second-year students into the clinical care of patients at the University Eye Center through the White Coat Ceremony. Students were presented with their white clinical coats as a symbol of the responsibility they hold in patient care. We were pleased to welcome the family of our students as well.
