Morgantown, WV (WOAY) – West Virginia University School of Medicine will hold its White Coat Ceremony on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at 1 p.m.

The keynote speaker is Dr. Jeffery Cannon, a WVU School of Medicine Class of 2019 graduate.
The ceremony is named for former associate dean for student and curricular affairs Dr. Traubert, who practiced family medicine in Wellsburg before joining the University as founding chair of the Department of Family Practice, now the Department of Family Medicine.
The ceremony will be followed by a reception at the Erickson Alumni Center, 1 Alumni Drive.
