Photo by Mark Lambert On Aug. 7, 2009, the JCHS Physician Assistant program graduated 37 PAs during the annual “White Coat Ceremony,” held on the Roanoke College campus. The graduation event is called a white coat ceremony because the graduates receive the traditional clinical white garments that they will wear when practicing as a PA. Here, we see the 2009 class portrait collection. These collections, one for each academic year, line the walls of the second floor at the Reid Center on the JCHS campus.
