2025 Honorary White Coat
The School of Pharmacy held its annual White Coat Ceremony on January 16th and our very own Robert Doyle, President of The Alpha Group, will be presented with an Honorary White Coat at the ceremony. Congratulations to Robert on this amazing recognition!
Honorary White Coat: The presentation of donning an honorary white coat began in 2016 as part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the White Coat Ceremony. The pharmacy profession has evolved exponentially in recent years. But pharmacy would not be where it is today without history—the foundation of the present and future. Recipients of the Honorary White Coat have been practicing for decades and exhibit the qualities and dedication to the profession that we hope pharmacy students will display. Each year, a pharmacist presents the honour to the new recipient. Honorary White Coat recipients have significantly advanced the profession, the health-care system, and improved patients' and the population's quality of life. They are the trailblazers.
