A defining milestone in the journey of our future Medical Laboratory Scientists, the Donning of the White Coat: 4th Pinning and Rites celebrated their transition toward clinical training and professional practice. More than a ceremonial tradition, the event symbolized the acceptance of responsibility, a commitment to excellence and innovation, and a steadfast dedication to serving the healthcare community with competence, integrity, and compassion.

His words encouraged the students to embrace the values of professionalism, integrity, and service as they move closer to their future roles in healthcare. This was followed by the ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐ of ๐๐ซ. ๐๐จ๐๐ฅ ๐. ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ, ๐๐๐, ๐๐, Dean of the School of Medical Laboratory Sciences, and the ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐ of ๐๐ซ. ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐จ ๐. ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐๐ซ., ๐๐๐, President of St. Dominic College of Asia, who challenged the students to pursue excellence and innovation in the profession.
One of the most meaningful moments of the ceremony was the ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ, signifying the transition of students toward greater professional accountability.

The highlight of the ceremony was the ๐๐จ๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ญ, where the students were formally vested on stage, symbolizing their readiness to embrace the responsibilities, ethics, and standards of the Medical Laboratory Science profession. This moment marked their transition from learners to future healthcare professionals committed to excellence in laboratory medicine.
The event was further enriched by a heartfelt ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐จ and ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ , honoring the support and sacrifices of those who have guided the students along the way.
