A “White Coat Ceremony” was held for dentist candidates who started their education at Trakya University Faculty of Dentistry this year.

Trakya University Faculty of Dentistry student Nisa Kaplaner made the first speech at the ceremony on behalf of her classmates. Kaplaner stated that the white coat they will wear is not a simple piece of fabric, but a symbol reflecting the sacredness and responsibility of dentistry.
Faculty of Dentistry Dean Prof. Dr. Addressing the students, Ahmet Altuğ Çilingir mentioned that traditional medical education was given in Edirne 400 years ago and said, “You will receive contemporary medicine and dentistry education at Trakya University, which takes its ethical values from the past and faces civilization,” and emphasized that students should never forget that the white coat they wear while receiving this education represents cleanliness, good morals and ethical rules.
Then, Trakya University Rector Prof. Dr. Mustafa Hatipler gave a speech and congratulated the students for their great efforts to gain admission to the Faculty of Dentistry.
