On August 15th, we welcomed the Class of 2028 to the Mercer DPT Program and kicked off the 2025-26 school year with the White Coat Ceremony! The new students received their white coats to symbolize their entrance into a healthcare profession and listened to an inspiring speech from Deanna Camilo, a Mercer DPT alumna and a graduate of both the orthopedic residency and the orthopedic manual therapy fellowship at Mercer. We also celebrated the graduation of the 2024 & 2025 residents and fellows!
