CAMDEN, N. J. (CBS) Medical students in Camden underwent a special ceremony on Friday. <\/p>\n
Dr. Paul Katz, dean of the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, says its a very special moment when a medical student puts on their white coat for the first time. Thats why a special ceremony was held for the incoming class. <\/p>\n
The white coat is very symbolic of being a physician and this is the day where we give them the white coat but more than that, really welcome them to the profession, Dr. Katz explains. <\/p>\n
It was also a special moment for the school, with this being the inaugural class. <\/p>\n
Weve told this class that there will only be one charter class in the history of this medical school and it is them, Dr. Katz says. <\/p>\n
He says many people have been waiting a long time for this moment, not just the students. <\/p>\n
The idea around a medical school in Camden goes back 40 years; so this idea has been out and about for a while and were really very pleased for all the people that kept this dream alive that we now have the opportunity to get this school started, says Dr. Katz. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
