I Temple University School of Medicine • 3 “Dr. Marks possessed an unparelleled ability to make learning fun, and in doing so was never afraid to go the extra mile, yet always with a smile.’ Edward L. A ike ns Dawn Marks, PhD was born on July 16,1937 in the town of Shillington, PA. Her father was an engineer, and her mother a homemaker. From a young age. Dr. Marks showed great promise as a student and a scientist, graduating at the top of her high school class, and subsequently first in her class at Bucknell University. She received her DEDICATION Dawn B. Marks, Ph.D. ESTABLISHING the highest standards. doctoral degree from the University of Pennsylvania, before joining the faculty at Temple University. At first, she worked part time while her children were young, but in 1968 she became a full time member of the Temple faculty. Dawn Marks, the early years. 4 Dedication Dr. Marks remained at Temple for the duration of her career, wearing many different hats and tackling many diverse projects. Beyond attaining the rank of full professor, she served as assistant dean for Graduate Studies from 1984 to 1998. She also served as co-director of the biochemistry course and served on the School of Medicine's Curriculum Committee. In her spare time. Dr. Marks also helped develop computerized teaching programs and wrote a textbook, which has since been translated into five different languages. This book also became the basis for a USMLE board review book in biochemistry, which is universally referenced by medical students preparing for their boards. Her books reflected her philosophy of teaching biochemistry, which was to keep it simple and to be relevant to the practice of medicine. Fortunately for us. Dr. Marks had an extraordinary love and devotion to teaching,as evidenced by the many hours spent outside of the classroom preparing and perfecting her lectures.

In the course of on hour, she was uniquely able to break down complex biochemical concepts into enormous diagrams on the blackboard that somehow made everything crystal clear! Her goal was to make the study of biochemistry enjoyable to students so they would remember it down the road in their practice of medicine. Her students' admiration and gratitude were manifest by the many teaching awards that she received. She received the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching on five different occasions. She also received the Sowell Award for Excellence in Basic Science Teaching in 1988 and 1999. In addition, she received the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1989 and the coveted Temple University Great Teacher's Award in 1990. Dr. Marks often served as an ally for her students. She made no secret of her home phone number, and encouraged students to call her with their concerns, whether about biochemistry or any personal matter. According to her husband, endocrinologist Allan Marks. M.D,she would frequently spend time at home on the phone with troubled students, sometimes talking well into the early morning. She was often an unofficial advisor to students who were frustrated with biochemistry or medical school in general counseling these students to work through their problems and stay in medical school. Making her students' lives easier and her material more clear was Dr. Mark's primary objective. When she realized that there were no clinically relevant biochemistry textbooks,she set out to write her own, drawing from her knowledge of the sciences and her husband's clinical experiences. This theme carried over to her lectures in 6 • 2002 Skull Drs. Dawn and Alan Marks which she and her husband used clinical correlations to bring relevance to the material. According to Dr. Allan Marks, she constantly pressed her colleagues to write clear unambiguous examination questions that were truly relevant to the practice of medicine. As for the side of her that we didn't know much about, Dr. Marks was the mother of three, Allan. Elise and Eileen. In her cozy little office,she always displayed pictures of her children and grandchildren, and loved to talk about them if given the chance. The family often spent weekends at their house down the shore, a welcome respite from the pressures of academic life. She also enjoyed playing the piano as well as competitive doubles tennis matches with friends. One of her favorite hobbies was to work on her textbook with her husband,a collaboration they both enjoyed. In his words,she never let her ego get in the way , and was always willing to consider his input into the final product. Our class is delighted to dedicate the 2002 yearbook to Dr. Dawn B. Marks. We feel so fortunate that we were able to benefit from her enthusiastic teaching style, her love of biochemistry and her amazing devotion to her students. She leaves behind a legacy of physicians who are able to apply their basic science knowledge to the daily challenges presented by patients. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Allan Marks for spending time with us and giving us insight into the life of Dr. Dawn B. Marks.

Aikens IT'S AN HONOR Our graduation hoods are a relic from medieval times which remains today in modern academia. The hood's silken lining is the color of the university conferring the degree, and the velvet indicates the special area of study. The colors of Temple University are cherry and white. The dark green represents medicine. Hooders are individuals who symbolically bestow our degrees upon us. Each senior class chooses four individuals to place the hoods on the members of the class at the graduation ceremony. These distinguished individuals were selected not only for their superb quality of teaching, but for their hard work and dedication towards the graduating class and to Temple University School of Medicine. Their commitments to teaching and to medicine serve as examples for us all. We 8 • 2002 Skull honor them as they so often have honored us. Hooders for the Class of 2002 are: Dr. Margot Boigon, Associate Professor, Department of Medicine Dr. Carson Schneck, Professor, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology Dr. Albert Lamperti, Professor, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology; Associate Dean for Student Affairs Dr. Gerald Sterling, Professor, Department of Pharmacology, Associate Dean for Medical Education On Behalf of the Class of 2002, the yearbook staff wishes to thank each of our hooders for the time they have taken to guide us through the beginning of our medical careers.

We have also enjoyed having the main campus students for their required and elective rotations. Some of the students on required rotations have chosen to return in their senior year for electives. The campus has been established as one of the city's leading teaching facilities, which has also attracted medical students from across the country. The clinical campus students have been exposed to a wide variety of experiences in research and specialty societies, allowing the students to be recognized for their academic achievements. Robert Garvin was honored by the Pittsburgh Surgical Society as one of the Outstanding Senior Medical Students having an interest in surgery. He received a certificate and check from the society for his accomplishments. We look forward to our continued affiliation with the Temple University School of medicine and the growth of the clinical campus to become a major resource for the School of Medicine in educating their students.

Buckley, Ph.D. Helen R. Buckley, Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Temple University Hospital and School of Medicine, died on February 28. 2001 (Ash Wednesday) following esophageal cancer. She was 65. After receipt of her B.S. in Biology from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, Dr. Buckley served as a research Assistant at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University (1956-61). She then went on to pursue a fellowship in Portugal (1961-64), and later received a Diploma in Immunology from the University of London, and a Ph.D. in Medical Mycology from the University of London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (1968). In 1977, she moved to Philadelphia and became an Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the TUSM.and Director of the Mycology Laboratory at the TUH. In 1984 she rose to the rank of Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Temple. Dr. Buckley was a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, and a fellow of the Infectious Disease Society of America. She served on numerous committees, both at Temple and abroad. She was probably best known and loved as a teacher and mentor of medical and graduate students. Dr. Buckley was an advisor to 7 Master s degree graduate students, 13 Ph.D. candidates, and 6 post-doctoral fellows, many of whom have moved on to important and influential positions in microbiology, public health, and medicine. She has been recognized for her insightful, encouraging and supportive teaching roles, and was the recipient of the George A. Sowell Award for Excellence in Basic Science Teaching, and the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching. Dr. Buckley has been very active and influential in the teaching of human fungal disease to medical students, graduate students, allied health students, residents, dermatologists and others. She was actively involved with the Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program, which provides summer research opportunities for interested high school students from underrepresented minority groups. This program, and Dr. Buckley particularly, offered both inspiration and training for the pursuit of further education in medical sciences for many young students. As a research mentor to African-American and Latino high school students from Philadelphia and elsewhere. Dr. Buckley often chose the youngest students in the program in the hopes of working with them over several years. She was a very kind and patient mentor, and was often very successful in conveying the passion she felt for her work to her students, particularly by emphasizing how their research work would directly affect and benefit patients. As an acknowledgement of her activities in the mentoring of minority students. Dr. Buckley was to receive the 2001 William A. Hinton Research Training Award from the American Society for Microbiology. The award is presented by the ASM in honor of Dr. William A. Hinton, a physician-research scientist whose work advanced the field of diagnostic microbiology and who had the distinctive honor of being one of the first African-Americans to become a member of the ASM. Helen will be sorely missed not only by her immediate family but countless friends, colleagues. and former students who loved her dearly. She gave infinitely of herself to all she encountered, and her memory will live on and flourish in those who learned from her. Excerpts taken from obituary by Dr. Allan L.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. others stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. A Healing Touch From time to time God sends people to earth who are meant to inspire us by their daily lives. Holly was one of those people. Despite discouraging words from her father, her professor and others. Holly never wavered from her goal of becoming a doctor. Daily busy-ness and difficulties have a way of sapping the energy out of life, but Holly always had the extra strength to help others with their studies, their struggles, and listening for many hours, giving counsel when needed. A quiet calmness in the midst of troubled waters, describes one of Holly's gifts. A gift that was the foundation for healing the physical and emotional ills of others. Her heart was pure. You got to laugh! You got to laugh at yourself! Holly had the gift of laughter. When we think of her we can always hear her laugh - it lightens the load. A smile and a kind word to lift another's spirit - or her own. She sure had this gift. We remember the rejection letters from various medical schools - Holly's response was Oh well, and then she would smile and say I still have one more to hear from. And then the acceptance letter from Temple came - oh the joy! Holly enjoyed 60 days of medical school, making new friends and living life to her full potential. On November 1,1998, she was called to a higher place to inspire others with her heavenly touch. So whatever hour you are blessed with, take it with grateful heart, nor postpone your joys from year to year,so you may truly say you have lived happily! Thanks Holly for your healing touch!!! Love Always, Dad, Mom, Michelle Kristen Temple University School of Medicine • 19 SEPTEMBER 1 1th reflections In a nursing dormitory in Bethlehem. Pennsylvania at around 3:00pm on September 11th, 2001, a medical student named Pete wandered into the television lounge sleepy-eyed. A dozen other medical students sat with eyes like glazed marbles watching the television. I was one of them.doing an away rotation in cardiology. ’Hey guys. How's everybody doing? And then he stopped short and asked innocently, ignorantly, still in a groggy state, ‘What's going on?’ A couple students simply looked in his direction in disbelief, their thoughts were undoubtedly on the order of “How could you be so stupid to not know? Where were you for the last six hours? How could you sleep through such an important event? How could anybody sleep through such an important event? A few simply shook their heads. Pete slowly sat down, while another student in hushed tones enlightened him about the monumentous tragedy that overtook the spirit of all citizens of the United States of America. Holy something was his only reaction before he too joined the stony-faced cadre of students to watch cable news in an unsettling state of disbelief. The event now known as simply “September 1 lth“ occurred on a beautiful September morning in New York City, the major site of tragedy. The sun shone bright and the sky was blue. Many New Yorkers were arriving at their workplaces by car, bus. train, and foot, when at 8:48am the large Boeing 767 jet of American Airlines flight 11 crashed into the 85th floor of the World Trade Center's north tower. My wife Lori who worked at Mount Sinai in the upper-east side was in the laboratory around 9:00am, where the whole floor was speaking of the crash. There was a consensus that this must have been some sort of accident. Then. United flight 175 crashed into the south tower at 9:03am. At that point everybody knew what had happened. For the first time since Pearl Harbor, and In an equally devious way, the United States was under attack on its home soil.Work in the lab stalled as all honed in on the radio news broadcasts. The fire of the World Trade Center sent smoke towering into the air, and people were seen peering out of windows above. Trapped, some chose to leap to their deaths rather than die in flame. At 9:43am a third plane crashed into the organizational seat of American military might, the Pentagon. Twenty six minutes later the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed in a cloud of dust and debris as the supports buckled under the intense heat of burning jet fuel. We all watched in utter disbelief as thousands were killed. Telephone calls to New York City were met with busy signals from 9am until after 3pm. Lori wisely emailed a “text message to my cellular telephone, communicating her safety which I quickly relayed to her family.Airports across the country were shut down. Around 10:10am. Lori was sent home amidst some minor concern that a tall “jewish hospital might also be a target. Shortly afterwards the second tower came down. Finally at 10:40am United flight 93 crashed in Somerset east of Pittsburgh. It was learned that this flight also was hijacked and bound for a target in Washington DC, but was prevented from fulfilling its fiery goal by a heroic group passengers who sacrificed themselves by overtaking the hijackers. The series of destructive events thus ended, and America was left to digest the occurrences of the day. It is strange to remember a particular day so vividly. We will all remember where we were and what we felt. I was on my way into the hospital, when a student in the television lounge beckoned. Confusion, disbelief, sadness, concern for loved ones, a feeling of helplessness went through my mind in rapid succession. September 11th had been for me and many the worst day of our lives. A mere two weeks until the Step2 boards, my studying was hindered by an angry numbness which overtook all concrete thought processes. I like others sat around and watched the news for days. Our perspective of the world would never again be the same. Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives or remain missing. On a day in between residency interviews. I visited the viewing platform at the World Trade Center site. The 800.000 tons of debris had been largely cleared away, and an empty pit was all that remained of the skyscrapers. It was a sad and moving day. Walls along the streets held thousands of pictures of loved ones, prayers for the police and fire departments of New York, crosses, and flowers. People from all over the country had given their support in words and art. The quiet desolation was profound, but I knew that our country eventually would overcome. Deep inside behind the new vulnerability there lies a confidence that we will prevail, adapt and arise anew, that freedom begets strength and that righteousness triumphs over evil. Our world is changed, but we are up to the task. -Huchun Hu 20 • 2002 Skull No oo€ person con articulate wtiot September 11, 2001 means to everyone We share the horror, the disbelief, the pain of those who lost their lives that day and the pain of those who mourn. As the world is changing and threats of biologic warfare flood the mass medio, we as physicians are expected to meet those challenges. As l watched NYC close to the world with the exception of medical personnel, l realized what would someday be required from me, would never be tested on a shelf or board exam. What we may witness, no matter what specialty we choose and the limit of what we are able to do is daunting What if it had been Philadelphia, what If the first wave hod come to Temple? And while we can never truly fathom the what Ifs . next year it maybe my city, and I may be the doctor waiting for the ambulances to arrive That day I lost friends yet like so many others I goined a reality of whot this profession means, not only to my friends and family but to the community, city and country we live in -TashannaK N Myers No one will ever forget December 7,1941, the day that will forever live in infamy. Everyone who lived through November 22.1963 remembers exactly what he or she was doing when the news of President Kennedy’s assassination was first broadcast. We still have vivid images or the American hostages taken twenty years ago, the attempt made on President Regan s life, and the bombing of Pan Am flight 103. Each generation of Americans must overcome national tragedy, and ours Is no different. Where were we when we first learned of the horror that occurred on September 11.2001? Who were we with? What were we doing? Having taken block 3 as vacation, I took the time to prepare for Step 2, and was in the midst of my morning routine. I hopped into the car around 10am and turned on the radio just like always. Instead of hearing music, I heard a dj's voice simply say, The twin towers are gone.’ It only fully sunk in when I returned home to see the disturbing video footage with which we have all become so hauntingly familiar - the planes, the crashes, the collapse, desperate individuals jumping and being thrown from 100th story windows, and the chaos below. I was scheduled to begin an away elective at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan the following Monday and received numerous phone calls from family and friends asking me not to go and worrying over my safety. Upon arriving in New York, the city was still covered by a cloud of dust. People had returned to daily life, but an eerie silence befell the streets anytime an airplane flew overhead.The most surreal part of this tragedy, however, was not the fact that it occurred, rather, it was our response to it. Blood donation centers and fund raising organizations were so overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, they were forced to turn people away. I went to the Jacob Javitz Center to volunteer in any way possible, but was informed that the help on hand was already far more than enough. That fact remains simply amazing. I heard stories from patients who were eyewitnesses - individuals who saw it all, who were in the buildings, who lost loved ones. This diverse.sprawling city of ten million people came together with one united voice. Invariably, every account I heard was followed by concern over my personal safety. I was asked daily by patients whether I was alright, whether I was the victim of any prejudice, whether I had suffered from any hate crimes. I attended a U2 concert in Manhattan one month later. A seemingly endless list of victims from September 11th was shown, instantly moving 20.000 people to tears. I was standing next to an NYPD officer who turned to me and thanked me for coming, showing my support, and not living in fear. I shook his hand, thanked him for being a police officer, and replied. ’Because of the incredible job you've all done. I don't have to live in fear.- The workers in all the buildings attacked, the passengers and crew of the airliners, the volunteers, the firefighters, the policemen, and the EMS personnel who were involved will forever be heroes, and may God rest the souls of those we have lost. We will never forget the evil that struck us that Tuesday morning.nor will we ever heal from it completely. But along with this, we will also never forget the good that we have seen in all of us afterwards. We have all grown from this experience, and this renewed sense of spirit and patriotism will be with us for all time to come I wish the best of everything to my fellow 2002 classmates, always. -Amopreet Bams Temple University School of Medicine • 21 SENIORS N 2002 Skull Temple University School of Medicine • 23 |n-«| temple university jp ■ Hospital Admission H P Class of2002 Date: August ms Reason for Admission: fjedicaleducation History of Present Illness: The Class of2002is a markedly diverse group admitted to Temple University School of fjedicine in Augusti998to begin a lifelong process of learning to diagnose, treat and prevent disease in the human being The class has a widely varied history Caliof which contribute to its presentation today) including but not limited to mathematics law. art history, engineering, biology, screenwriting, teaching, construction and politics.

I can not pass the opportunity to let my family know how important they are in all those difficult times. Medical school is difficult itself and I can not imagine going through four years of stress, anxiety and sometimes depression without my mother, brother and sister. Their support and even a simple phone call from my family was an important stimulus that kept me going the last few years.. For the unity that defines my family, I am very proud of them. One day a few years ago I told my father I wanted to become a physician and promised him I would become one. For this reason and because he was an incredible human being, great role model, perfect father and an example to follow, I dedicate my medical degree to my father. Cuando me entere de esta pagina personal y que podria poner lo que quisiera en ella, no fue nada dificil decidir lo que escribirfa en ella. No puedo pasar la oportunidad de hacerle saber a mi familia lo importante que han sido en esos momentos dificiles. La escuela de medicina es dificil en si, no puedo imaginarme lo que seria vivir el estres, ansiedad y en veces depresibn sin mi mama, hermano, y hermana. Su apoyo y hasta un simple llamada de ellos fue un estimlo muy importante que me man-tuvo luchando los ultimos anos de mi vida. Mi familia se define por la unidad, y por ello, me siento muy ogulloso de mi familia. Un dia, hace varios ahos le mencionb y le prometi a mi papa que seria doctor. Por esta razon y porque fue un ser humano increible, el padre perfecto y un ejemplo a seguir, le dedico mi titulo de medicina. 36 I Dr. Marcelino C. Barriga Dr. Kristin P.

Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy never ceasing. Call for songs of loudest praise Teach me some melodious sonnet. Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise His name • I'm fixed upon it-Name of God’s redeeming love. Hitherto Thy love has blest me; Thou hast bro’t me to this place: And I know Thy hand will bring me Safely home by Thy good grace Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger. Bought me with His precious blood. O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee; Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love; Here’s my heart, O take and seal it; Seal it for Thy courts above. “This I recall to my mind. Therefore I have hope. The Lord’s loving kindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion'. Says my soul, ‘Therefore I have hope in Him’ The Lord is good to those who wait for Him. To the person who seeks Him.

One, to do the day’s work well and not to bother about tomorrow...The second ideal has been to act the Golden Rule, as far as in me lay, toward my professional brethren and toward the patients committed to my care. And the third has been to cultivate such a measure of equanimity as would enable me to bear success with humility, the affection of my friends without pride, and to be ready when the day of sorrow and grief came to meet it with the courage befitting a man.” -Sir William Osier Dr. John D.

I also thank my friends for being there unconditionally even when I could not be there for them. However, a special thanks goes to my immediate “family , those who live with me and endure my grouchy attitude following a 36 hour call or my frenzy before a final. I thank my cats for their company and entertainment at 1:00a.m. while studying for Biochemistry or Gross Anatomy. I thank my dog for helping me relieve stress by playing in the yard and my parrot for an uplifting tune when one is needed most. But most importantly. I than my fiance. Tara, with her I was able to accomplish all that I have. She has been there for me . from beginning to end. high school ‘til now. She is my rock, my foundation. Her encouraging words comfort me through tough times and her excitement for my accomplishments always keeps me striving. We have endured the good and the bad. but we have endured them together. I'm sure we'll have many more surprises in the future, but I'll be glad to share them together as husband and wife come May 2002. Finally.

Early course was complicated only by common and expected struggles with the volume and complexity of the information. Despite normal side effects, including dry eyes, fatigue, frustration and headache, all those discharged today mastered the reguired material, before entering clinical education all students endured an eigh t-hour examination testing the efficacy of the treatment over the first two years. For most above side effects peaked here. The clinical years were marked by huge learning curves and difficult circumstances, testing the Class of2002in new ways. AH entered somewhat unsure and timid but rapidly learned hospital basics and with the help of their assigned patients, they gained a basic understanding of disease and pathology. Progress here was certainly not ’textbook for any of the students, but all eventually found their clinical legs and gravitated towards specialties and disciplines for which they discovered affinities. As above, consultation was 186 • 2002 Skull Class of2002 called on numerous occasions to facilitate motivation, morale and to share valuable advice.

The less ambitious of us managed to sleep, eat, gain weight, lose weight, make a date, come to class late, bake, sell, buy, hit a fly and avoid the drive-by. Yet the true slackers of the bunch have made enduring friendships and lasting memories. To the class of 2002: the gunners, the slackers, the peacemakers, the village people, the republicans, the lovers, the talkers, the listeners, the surgeons, the pediatricians, and all haven’t found themselves yet... congratulations on not only working hard but enjoying life along the way. And while some moments (we are grateful) were not caught on film, here are a few moments that helped define who we are as individuals and as a class.

(Community health, Advocacy, Referrals, and Education Services) is Temple's student-run health clinic. It provides students with the opportunity to gain clinical skills and interact with members of the local community before they begin their hospital rotations in the third year. The clinic is located at Bethel Holy Temple, a church near the medical school at 16th and Allegheny. It runs every Tuesday night from 6:30 - 8:00 during a church-sponsored food pantry and grocer)' giveaway for local residents. About eight students from all four years go to the clinic each week. Students from the first and second years are paired up with students in their third and fourth years. They see patients together, do a focused history and physical exam and then present their case to one of the faculty members from the Department of Family and Community Medicine (Drs. Permut, Barclay, Mack, and Lyons). Together, they work out a plan for that patient. A great emphasis is placed on educating the patients about their medical problems and providing them with referrals to more extensive medical services if they need it. 334 • 2002 Skull Between eight to twelve patients are seen on any given night, and they present with a wide variety of medical problems from high blood pressure to diabetes to colds and flu to pulled muscles. In addition to the weekly Tuesday nights, the clinic also sponsors monthly Thursday night education talks about topics that are important to the local community, including high blood pressure, HIV. depression and prostate cancer. These talks are very well attended and are given by faculty members from the hospital. The clinic has been open since November of 1999. The hard work of students from many classes has made it possible. Three students from the class of 2001 (Brendan Carr. Anne Colton, and Paul Crtspen) first developed the idea for the clinic, and set about securing funding for it and finding a site. Several members from the class of 2002 (Bert Beiler. Chandra Hartman, Adrian Hazbun, Brian Meyer. Opal Taylor, Ann Till. Sarah Winters, and Melissa Zale) continued on their work, and managed the clinic through its first year. Many more members of the class of 2002 have contributed substantially to the success of the clinic by volunteering their time on a regular basis to come out to the clinic, see patients. and help mentor first and second year students. The clinic leadership has been passed into the competent hands of students from other classes including Mary Brown and Ashley Hyder (2003) and Jamie Alton and Kathy Koncsol (2004) . There are currently plans to expand the clinic, by adding additional rooms at the church, and possibly expanding the clinic to include other nights. — Brian Meyer Temple University School of Medicine • 335 336 • 2002 Skull the future of temp e med Andy Ankamah -4 months Emily Sarah Saad (Abbas) Stephen Thomas Zale The future babies Ali-Khan Jamalah with Walt and Khalil Sargeant Jon and Austin Drake Temple University School of Medicine • 337 young and in love 338 • 2002 Skull Temple University School of Medicine • 339 RESIDENCIES 340 • 2002 Skull Temple University School of Medicine • 341 Choosing A Residency Many medical students sweat and fret when it comes to choosing which residency is right for them.They try imagining their future,asking their loved ones,and sometimes even try no guarantee' questionnaires in a desperate attempt to pick the right field of medicine for their future career. We at the Medical Development Office of Medical Developmental Affairs found that often,the problem is simply not knowing the essence of each specialty. As most medical students are familiar with coffee, we have developed a technique that compares the ’essence' of each field of medicine with the everyday task of drinking a cup of coffee. Each student simply needs to find the ‘cup of coffee’ that most appeals to him or her. and a specialty match is made! Good luck and congratulations on your new chosen field of medicine! Control: A cup of coffee Obstetrics: Deliver the coffee Gynecology: Make the coffee uncomfortable by sticking a very cold spoon into it Emergency Medicine: Coffee To Go Family Practice: Savor the coffee with your family and friends, then prescribe levofloxacin. General Medicine: R O for tea,juice,milk, water,soda,Jack Daniels,egg nog,etc... General Surgery: Drink the @$%$A coffee... NOW!!! Ophthalmology: Which coffee looks better to you: Coffee one. or coffee two?? Heme Oncology: Be able to show with numerous journal articles that there is a 2% chance the coffee will burn your tongue, but a 3.5% chance that it will taste good and improve your mood. Radiation Oncology: Take the coffee from the surgeon, then microwave the coffee. If the coffee is not hot after microwaving, blame the surgeon for drinking too slowly. Pediatrics: No coffee for you. How about Kool-Aid? Psychiatry: Coddle the coffee in your hands, feeling the heat radiate into your fingertips, and smell the departed flavor of each bean used to make the dark rich brew... Then give it Prozac. Urology: Ummm, I wouldn’t drink that coffee if I were you... Dermatology: Look at the coffee, then go home. Orthopedics: Take the coffee, smash it against the wall, stomp on it. Get a new prosthetic coffee cup, toss it on the ground and consult medicine to clean up the mess. 342 • 2002 Skull Temple University School of Medicine • 343 MATCH DAY, 2002 meet your match!

STRP was started in 1977 with the goal of bringing the University to the Community. The 1000 students and the Visiting Professors that have come to the Scranton-Temple Residency Program have brought the University to the Community. As the founder of the Primary Care Institute at Temple, Dr. Robert E. Wright has brought the Community to the University. Drs. John F. McGeehan, Randall G. Brundage, Vincent J. Vanston, Shubhra Shetty, and other primary care Faculty at STRP continue this tradition. STRP remains committed to eliminate the barriers between the University, where discoveries take place, and the Communities, that implement the developments derived from these discoveries.

Eisenstaedt, M.D. Janninc Z. Medrana Administrator. Alumni Affairs Temple University School of Medicine • 3S3 A Residency at Abington? Four Temple grads tell why they chose Abington Memorial Hospital. When choosing a Family Medicine Residency Program. I knew I wanted to be at a hospital that is strong in academia and that provided the teaching I would need to be a good physician. In addition. 1 wanted to be at a community hospital, at a program that takes pride in caring for its residents. After doing several rotations at Abington. during medical school. I knew Abington would be able to provide me with an excellent education, a wide variety of patients and an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and to having a life while in residency. The residents in each of the programs are truly happy and enjoy working with each other and with the attending physicians. I am proud to be a resident at Abington Memorial Hospital and 1 am delighted in my choice of residency program. Meghan Giniy, M.D Temple '01. Family Practice AMH Internal Medicine Residency was my top choice because it offered the best mix of academic and community medicine compared with the other programs I considered. There is a strong flavor of the university setting, with faculty dedicated to teaching and to growing the residency program. The private attending physicians bring their own varied expertise into patient care, which adds to the educational experience. The nurses and ancillary staff are excellently trained and eager to work with house staff as a part of the patient care team. When all of this added to the wide variety of patient cases, the sum is a great training program and a great place to work. Deborah Way. M.D Temple '98. Internal Medicine Choosing Abington Memorial Hospital was an easy decision. It integrates a strong Surgical Residency Program that produces competent and well-rounded graduates with a nurturing environment intent on maximizing clinical teaching. An emphasis on resident satisfaction makes AMH an ideal place to both learn and work. Denny Tang. MD. Temple '01. General Surgery The Dental Residency at Abington Memorial Hospital is all that I had hoped it would be and more. Working closely with my colleagues in the medical profession has elucidated mcdical dcntal interrelationships to provide a high quality of comprehensive patient care. The progression, which I have made, both personally and professionally, has given me newfound confidence. The exposure to all of Dentistry’s areas, including the specialties, has given me a solid foundation and experience on which to build.

It was not so long ago that we were here for our initial class meeting, financial aid talk, and PPD placement as first-year students. However, this time a heightened anticipation of the changes to come was in the air. With the opening of an envelope a new path would be laid for us - new responsibilities, perhaps a new city, and the inevitable scattering of friends. Looking back at these last four years, it is easy to be overwhelmed by how much we've learned from people we interacted with so briefly, including fellow classmates, professors, patients, residents, and attendings. We encourage you to reflect on all of the hard work and devotion it took to arrive at this moment and to remember all those whose commitment to you helped along the way. We won't attempt to say that this book is a complete representation of the past four years, but we hope it captures a few memories of your time spent at Temple. This book is the product of many hours of commitment, dedication and hard work by a group of volunteers. We would like to start by thanking the SKULL 2002 staff for your time and effort. Thanks to the fourth-year class for the energy you put into your pages and the candid shots, without which the book could not have been completed. Thank you to our advisor, Dr. Kenneth Cundy. for your guidance. This list would be incomplete without thanking the wonderful people in the Dean's office - especially Dr. Albert Lamperti. Mrs. Gladys Jenkins and Ms. Francine Smith. A very special thanks to Lisa Buscaglia and the entire staff at Cooke Publishing for your comprehensive instruction, endless patience, sound advice and constant support. Finally, we wish to thank all those whose financial contributions made this book possible. CONGRATULATIONS Class of 2002!!! We've only just begun. The cute faces belong to: 1. Melissa Lee 2.
