“Introducing a new tradition: special recognition awards for outstanding students in each department and the overall top performer in Rx26.”

George Oduro emerged as the most decorated PharmD student at the 9th White Coat Ceremony. Two other students, Yahaya Mubarik Mbeinba and Delali Akusika Dotse shared the three left awards among themselves.

Delali Akusika Dotse received one award while Yahaya Mubarik Mbeinba got two of the prizes.

The White Coat Ceremony is a ritual in some schools of medicine and other health-related fields that marks the student's transition from the study of preclinical to clinical health sciences.

For the fifth-year KNUST Pharmacy students it was a moment of joy as they went through the ceremony to signify an end to their preclinical stage.
