CLASS OF 1975 As you approach the termination of your formal education you do so with mixed emotions. On the one hand you are ecstatic with regard to the finality of lectures, class notes, the College clinic and examinations. But you also have an apprehension about the immediate future of a residency program and or private practice. Am I ready for the outside world? Can I relate to patients — independently? Am I clinically prepared for the full responsibility of patient care? Will I be successful in private practice? The ecstasy of leaving formal education is short lived. The apprehensions of private practice will linger for at least several years. Rest assured, you have reached the level of doctor with a better education and a firmer foundation than you think. Therefore, you should approach the future with hope and self-confidence. Time will take care of most of your present fears. Time will also make your education obsolete. You are now solely responsible for your continuing education. Do not get lost in your practice. 1'heeducational world will pass you by. Use the College of Podiatric Medicine as your foundation for self-education. The local universities and academic health science centers are also educational resources. Use all of these resources to full advantage, for your responsibilities as a health care provider are awesome. Good luck in practice. Our years together have been enjoyable. Sincerely, Charles W. Gibley. Ph.D. Vice President for Academic Affairs Dear Class of 1975: One of the unfortunate results of moving to a new position is that there is not enough time in one year to get to know fully one of the key segments of the College — the graduating class. 1 have always enjoyed my relationship with seniors (or in PCPM’S case the fourth year students), because, mixed in with the anxiousness to get out into the world, there are varying degrees of consternation over the hopes not realized and the desired changes not brought about. 1 find this exhilarating and a source for ideas for the future. To those of you 1 have now had the fortune to get to know; my appreciation for your willingness to share your experiences: to those of you I did not get to know as well. I look forward to meeting you as alumni at reunions and professional meetings; to all. my most sincere congratulat ions and best wishes for a healthy and fruitful life. Sincerely, LaurenceC. Sartor, Ph.D. Vice President For Student Affairs 5
