FROM THE Dear Class, Our journey through medical school has come to an end, but our careers are just beginning. It is hard to believe that just four years ago, we sat in orientation and heard how we would be learning about the human condition” as medical students and future physicians. Since day one, we formed teams to learn anatomy and physiology, accd RATs, tackled workshop problem sets, and developed examination skills in Doctoring. Slowly but surely, as we interviewed and examined patients, scrubbed into OR procedures, and wrote progress notes, we witnessed each other grow into our future roles as physicians. Outside of the hospital and classroom, we also volunteered and worked at schools, community centers, clinics, and homeless shelters throughout Philadelphia, across Pennsylvania, and around the world. We published research, presented at international conferences, and lobbied at local and state tiers of government. In doing so, we embodied the belief that as medical students and future doctors, we are responsible not only for the health of the patients we treat, but also for the well-being of the community around us. Next year, we will spread out across the country as residents, bringing our hard-working and enthusiastic Temple spirit wherever we go. We will always look back fondly on our accomplishments here and remember where our journey began! Congratulations Class of 2017! Best Wishes, Mike Tzcng, President Marina Baskharoun, Vice President Jonathan Ragheb, Community Service Chair TEMPLE UNIVERSITY 83

SAI ALLA, M.D. Downingtown, PA B.A. Biology Saint Louis University I warn to thank Mummy, Daddy and Chinni for their unwavering support these past few years. I knew there were a lot of ups and downs, and it was at times a struggle. This journey seemed never ending and without their patience and support none of this would be possible. 1 also want to thank babu mama and arta for playing an instrumental role my entire life. They were my second parents, constantly encouraging me and filling my parents' place when they were not here. And lastly my gratitude to probably my favorite person in the world and the person I look up the most to, my Narsimha Rao Bava. He is someone I admire for his humility, simplicity and genuineness and someone who I have terribly missed these past few years. RIP: Ramanadham Thataya I hope you’re satisfied and proud.
