PRESIDENT SHOBER ON HAHNEMANN AND THE HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM Your graduation comes at a very signifi- cant time - our Bicentennial Year. This country has seen enormous strides in health care, many of them originating here in Philadelphia, but l believe you will see more changes in your lifetime than have been seen during all of our two hundred years. The accelerating rate of new knowledge and change will require all of you to main- tain your evident desire and ability to learn. Whether you choose clinical prac- tice, teaching or research you will have to continue your established pattern of study- ing and learning to keep up with these changes. The one attribute that exemplifies the medical profession is their dissatisfac- tion with the dogma of today. Hahnemann has recognized this need to change and adjust by our flexible curricu- lum program, by our cooperative medical education programs to help train family physicians for practice in rural areas of our state fthe Pennsylvania Planj, by our new replacement Hospital and by many other activities. We hope these examples of building on the good and, concurrently, trying new methods to improve the deliv- ery of health care, will carry through to your own performance in your chosen field. Good luck to each of you and God speed. lx Wharton Shober President and Chief Executive Cfficer
