Week 7/White Coat Ceremony

Putting on his White Coat

 On September 17th we ended our 6th week of school with The White Coat Ceremony. This ceremony marks the student's transition from the study of preclinical to clinical health sciences. Alan and Ann drove up from Kansas to celebrate Dave's transition into the Medical Profession.

 We started the day at the school. Dave gave Alan and Ann a tour and introduced all of us to his cadaver. The smell was terrible and Benn was very interested.

 We ended the night with a celebratory dinner at "Creekside West", a local restaurant here in Yakima, the food and atmosphere was amazing! Apparently, the chef thought we waited too long for our food and was very generous to give us all desert on the house as an apology. I will be the first to say, we did not turn it down, but we also made it clear we were never in a hurry and we thought the service was fantastic!!  We had a wonderful day and enjoyed the rest of our weekend with Dave's parents.
