Commitment to Excellence Ceremony
Beginning in January 2024, as new cohorts commence their journey into the Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program, they will partake in the inaugural Commitment to Excellence Ceremony. This milestone event not only signifies their dedication to their educational legacy at Logan but also marks the inception of their preclinical journey. During the Commitment to Excellence Ceremony, students will be presented with blue coats and will take an oath of their commitment to being a chiropractic student physician in training.
