Imagine waking up one day and realizing you’re about to get your white coat!! This is truly exciting love your videos.

[@ninawey9318]

Right! I'd be nervous anxious emotional and excited at the same time, my nerves wouldn't know how to behave

[@courtneylink1432]

Congrats!! Just wanted to say I love your channel! I feel like I’m very similar to you so being able to watch you successfully pursue your med school dreams makes me feel like it is attainable for me too. I look forward to seeing what your days at DO school are like!

[@RachelSouthard]

Courtney Link thank you, that’s so sweet of you to say. And you can totally DO it(pun intended 😉). If you have anything I can help you with, let me know!

[@dejanae8415]

Congrats I hope this will be me in a few years

[@RachelSouthard]

If you want it, you can get it! :D

[@leenalhassawi6330]

Me too! I'm still in grade 11 but I live to learn about bio and the body. It would be the perfect jib for me as I am also very into equality and helping others.

Hi Rachel, congratulations on receiving your white coat! What an amazing accomplishment so far. My daughter’s white coat ceremony will be on Oct 5th. We parents are proud of you all!

Yes I am! You med students are simply a dedicated lot! 💕

This is so incredibly motivating and heartwarming. Welcoming future doctors… just… amazing… both of my parents are doctors, and I hope I can follow their footsteps to becoming a surgeon… God I can just imagine my parents handing me my white coat.. I am only a freshman in hs and I already dream of that moment

[@Mystified1978]

Hey I don’t know what kind of doctor you are becoming but thank you. Thank you for committing your life to helping others. As a cancer patient I have had two Doctors in particular save my life by taking extra time with me and getting to the bottom of my issue. I had a blood cancer and I am in remission after a transplant. You are beautiful and I can tell you are going to be an amazing doctor! God bless you!

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you for sharing this with me. I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. Your strength and ability to still spread positivity and kindness says a lot about you. Please take care!

So I’m in PA school and I have a white coat ceremony story I’ll never forget. So at my school we get our coats 2 months into school (varies by each PA school). So we ordered them at the beginning of school. 2 months later we didn’t have them. We had a class of 53. 12 students got theirs. Our program director was trying to figure out where they were and she would have driven to get them. So we had to use the class above us, their coats. So my pics of you zoom in, has someone else’s name. Someone in my class thought of.. if we use our stethoscope, it covers the name somewhat. So in my pics I have my stethoscope. The ceremony was on Friday.: we got our coats Monday. I’m like are you kidding me. It’s okay though. In clinical year now and its worth it.

My ex-girlfriend met her future husband at her white coat ceremony. I kind of deserve it I didn't show up cause I was running streets of NYC being a child but it's pretty cool to see it. Congratulation thanks for sharing a great accomplishment.
