A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS) celebrated the Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program class of 2026 with a White Coat Ceremony on Friday, March 14, 2025, at the Mesa Convention Center in Mesa, Arizona.
Julie Malloy, OTD, MOT, OTR/L, PMP, CPHQ, FNAP, vice president of practice, American Occupational Therapy Association, delivered the keynote address.
Worn for more than 100 years by physicians, white coats have been adopted by other health professions. This ceremony serves as a symbol of transformation and a right of passage, and recognizes students for reaching this point in their education.
In total, 12 future doctors of occupational therapy received their white coats.
