INDIANA UNIVERSITY School of Medicine 1100 WEST MICHIGAN STREET INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA 46202 OFFICE OF THE DEAN telephone: 317 264-8157 My dear Colleagues: Four years ago you entered the profession of medicine as students. Your graduation represents the first turning point in your medical careers; you have now earned your M.D.! In doing so, you are dedicating yourselves to a lifetime of learning and service. You have acquired a great deal of medical knowledge and specialized skills. You are equipped with the ability to think critically and analytically. You can tell the ill from the well and differentiate the serious from the trivial. You have achieved that self-confidence which grows from certain knowledge. But raw knowledge is not enough. You will now engage in the art of medicine first as resident physicians and then as practitioners and thus acquire experi- ence, judgment and wisdom. There will be many other turning points and many other high moments. In behalf of the faculty I wish you well. We know that you are prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Sincerely yours, Steven C. Dean Beering, M.D. SCB:mjs 5 “75 Years of Medical Education, Research and Service”
