The first time we leaf through the yearbook we will have already begun our post-doctoral training. We will be engrossed in an attempt to apply the knowledge and skills derived from medical school. It will be a time of refinement, growth, confidence building, and, perhaps, a few humbling misadventures. But on another day, at the end of our careers, we may in all likelihood be looking at these pages in a retrospective way, recalling our beginnings, and reflecting on the years between. If we are to be satisfied when we look back upon our lives as physicians I believe there are some questions and issues which we should consider now. Certainly our patients will be our most prominent recollection. And having spent countless hours of our lives administering to their medical needs it will not be difficult to remember many interesting cases . But when we recall these therapeutic triumphs will be completely satisfied with the way in which we conducted ourselves? Will we have listened enough? Will we have taken the time to sympathize? Our patients will certainly know the answers to these questions. If we ask ourselves what kind of profession we would like to look back upon, then it ' s quite possible that we can play some role in shaping that profession. Like Robert Frost ' s character we have already chosen the less traveled road in medicine by becoming Osteopathic Physicians. Will we, as a minority, have survived on merit or will we have looked to the government for its transient protection? Will we have walked confidently among all teachers and clinicians in an attempt to broaden our knowledge, or will we have promoted and embraced a more comfortable seclusion? Will our profession have demonstrated an awareness ' that students and education are at the very heart of the matter, choosing quality over quantity in all aspects of training? And as WE attended to our patients will we have taken the time to share our knowledge with students or will we have rushed on to the next patient, preoccupied with the notion that time is money? Probably the last issue which we will one day have .to address relates not to specific aspects of our careers, but rather, to a broader consideration, i.e. Was it worth it? On balance, will the benefits have justified the price that some of us will have paid? For example, regarding economic and professional status, one has to wonder whether this status will have been achieved at the expense of our personal and family lives. I strongly suspect that th ose among us who are destined to become the happiest and most fulfilled are not necessarily those who eventually acquire the largest practice or achieve the greatest professional and political recognition. It is obviously much easier to pose rhetorical questions about our future than to provide answers. Each one of us will answer these questions and address these issues in our own time and in our own way. It is not my intention to make judgments about the past four years at PCOM for that task would have to take into account over 200 individual experiences. Nor is it my intention to discuss the issues regarding loyalty to, and support of, institutions and organizations, for that is also a matter of personal perspectives and values. Suffice it to say that we, as individuals , are capable of unimaginable achievements, despite all obstacles and restrictions. Only those institutions and organizations which provide an unrestrained atmosphere in which to flourish, and which encourage and support our ambitions, deserve our loyalty and support in return. What remains is for me to express my gratitude to all of you for allowing me to be your class chairman. It has been a privilege which I treasure. Your cooperation, willingness to contribute, and sense of fairness, have played the major role in class functions. Quite often I was left only with the job of taking the credit for your accomplishments. In the future, in whatever way I can, I will continue to represent your interests. I wish for all of you the very best that life has to offer. .s UAMvt- p as»- - zxa Steven J. Fagan
