1. loaves? an opportunity for perfection to the entire class of 1967-congratulations! you have successfully completed a most exacting four years of your medical education. standards of professional performance have been demonstrated to you by the faculty through in- struction and example. it is mv profound hope that you will accept these high standards and build upon them to- wards perfection. many feel that high standards of professional performance are established in medical school only to be discarded under the impact of practical circumstances in practice. i wish to submit to you that this phenomenon, while all too common, is not necessary. you are a free agent facing a golden opportunity, namely the ability of each physician to establish his own mode and standards of practice. during the past four years you have been in an environ- ment of practice on a large group basis. equipment, facili- associate dean ties, time, deadlines, etc. were established by others to fit the average demands of the situation. when you launch into vour career, you will be in the position of establishing standards of practice, equipment, facilities, etc. twhether in research, teaching or atient carej which are under your own control and shouldjbe designed to fit your uniquely in- dividual needs. do you feel each patient should receive a proctoscopic examination? Set it up and do it! should each patient have intraoccular pressure recorded? study the process, set up the equipment and do itl do certain routine procedures contribute to patient care? try them! from now on any lack of performance or standards is your fault and none others. you can and must work towards improving your ability to perform. good hunting. hugh cl. bennett, Illll. associate dean

administration dean graduation from medical school is different from other graduations. completion of high school or college represented the closing of a chapter and a turn in a some- w at different direction. in past times the end of medical school also was considered the close of a period of prep- aration and study. today, however, life in medicine is a continuum. the period of formal study of medicine actually ended some time ago for our graduates. you have been in an environment of clinical provocation and self-learning dur- ing the past two years or longer. while the transition to an unstructured curriculum is difficult for most students, medical faculties everywhere have recognized for a number of years that such a change in learning techniques must occur within the atmosphere of the medical school and cannot be left to happenstance later on. knowledge of disease mechanisms and the methods for con- trolling disease have changed almost totally during the span of a few years. likewise, we are witnessing a marked change in the incidence of disease. the death rate from diseases such as poliomyelitis, tuberculosis and rheumatic fever has decreased strikingly, and even their occurrence rate is much lower than it was just a few years ago. the constant increase in life expectancy and a myriad of new chemicals has confronted the medical profession with new types of illness which were wholly unexpected when to- day's doctors were medical students. acquainting himself with these postgraduation developments has been the task with these postgraduation developments has been the task of each physician and any who have failed to meet it soon new physicians leaving medical school today must be prepared to devote a part of their lives to medical earning. centers of medical education must start to provide more opportunites for the practicing physician to continue to be a medical student. while medical schools have been broadening their responsibilities for the past several decades, only recently have they admitted that these responsibilities include a much greater role in the continuing education of the practicing doctor. plans for the federal government to contribute to the financing of these programs should remove the main barrier to an ac- celeration of new ventures in continuing medical educa- tion. the success of such programs rests primarily with the re- cipient. mandatory continuing education is not likely to be met with much zeal for learning and licensing agencies have wisely rejected such overtures. the last word of counsel from this dean to his graduates, therefore is to remain knowledgeable physicians by recognizintg that what little man knows about the processes of lie is being modified each day. so devote a part of every day to read- ing about new discovery and a part of every year to a for- mal program of re-education. good-bye and good wishes! william f. kellow, m.d., dean

' 4 5 Ji your future challenges confgratulationsl you have successfully completed your me ical school education. you will now enter the next phase of your career with the ability to meet future challenges. these include: self-directed learningi provision of effective leadershi in the delivery of healt care, and evaluating policies ofporganized medicine. your medical school experience has provided you with an opportunity for growth toward self-reliance. i now urge you to continue your self-directed study and display curios- ity and critical thinking in your work. do not recreate and maintain the assive, teachers-directed study. you should avoid the pitfrall of uncritically assimilating the material someone else thinks important. this is a strategy which may have worked in the past, when the immediate aim was a successful performance on an examination, but it will not work in the future. for your educational growth, the critical element will be the quality of your inquiry. as in education and industry, team work is mandatory to the organization of the modern practice of medicine. in medical school, the emphasis was on the performance of purely professional tasks. now that you have sufficiently progressed in your career, you will need to be aware of your role as leader of the team providing total care to the patient. the idea of self sufficient independence ought to assistant dean be discarded. the many challenges presented by the pa- tient cannot be met by any one physician, no matter how well trained for optimal care, it is essential that the hysi- cian coordinate his efforts with those of allied ffealth personnel such as social workers, physical therapists and rehabilitationls experts. therefore, if you are to maintain your leadershi in the field of health care, you must accept this responsibility. to be effective in your profession and cope with the rising expectations of society, you will need to resist the forces that demand your alliance on faith alone. educational, scientific, and social changes of the past fifty ears have resulted in the goal of health-protection regarrfless of the individual's ability to pay. new programs are, therefore, needed. if the profession does not take initiative for plan- ning and implementation of changes, it will be assumed by forcesaless well equipped. to continue resisting changes without good reasons will result in increasing assumption of responsibility by federal and state governments. it is clear that these challenges are great. but you can look forward confidently if you apply yourselves by drawing on the strengths of the past and imaginatively using your po- tential. joseph s. Cgonnella, m.d., assistant ean
