Members of the University of Wyoming School of Pharmacy class of 2013 were given symbolic
white coats during a recent ceremony.
"The white coat is symbolic of the students' professionalism and commitment to their
future patients and colleagues," says John Vandel, School of Pharmacy Dean. "It stands
for honor, integrity, duty, accountability, respect for others, excellence and altruism."
Admission to the professional program is limited and highly competitive. There are
52 students in the new class from among more than 400 applicants. UW's pharmacy curriculum
begins with a two-year pre-professional program followed by the four-year professional
program of three years of coursework on campus and 40 weeks of experiential coursework
performed off campus.
