History
The White Coat Ceremony was established in 1993 by Dr. Arthur Gold at Columbia University as a way to signify to students the importance of compassionate care in their work with patients. NUNM adopted this ceremony in 2013. We invite students to join us as we mark this important rite of passage in their journey to becoming exceptional naturopathic physicians.
