- 1 My congratulations to the Class of 1981 on your graduation which signifies a major accomplishment. As students you were professionals during a time when professionalism may be becoming obsolete. For centuries, the word professional has been used to describe the health care provider. Many definitions have been used and many disagreements have arisen in defining the word. Can anyone disagree that professionalism is a demanding code of behavior practiced by a group of individuals? It requires their unswerving commitment to ever expanding excellence in learning and knowledge applied to their area of expertise. It is a deep devotion to noble ideals, to service, and involves personal sacrifice. Professionalism involves an attitudinal ambience in the way one lives which is the antithesis of the entrepreneurer. It is controlled by enduring values which are human, social and ethical in their context. When you are a true professional you will have self esteem, self restraint and self realization. You have been professionals as students and I am confident you will conduct yourselves similarly during your careers. The profession of Podiatric Medicine has earned and achieved status as primary care providers in the past several decades. During your career, as a professional, you must continue and improve upon these achievements. The keystone to that objective is professionalism. Never forget, all of us at the College will be most proud of your achievements. Best wishes for a rewarding and happy career in 4

Editor’s Message Changes None of us can deny the changes that these 4 years have brought. Physical, mental and emotional changes. Changes for the better and worse. These were times of happiness, sadness laughter, tears, worries, parties, too much styding, too little sleep. But it was a dynamic time of our lives. And, in a funny sort of way it was exciting. Don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of times that we were ready to quit, questioning the worth of it all. But at this point in time, we realize that the sacrifice was worth it. Nevertheless, we are different people. None of us could possibly experience these past four years without changing. Slowly, we evolved through this experience into what we are today. And what we are today is what we will take with us into our professional careers. Hopefully, at this point the change that has occurred in us will enable us to be good at what we do; but most importantly, happy with what we do and what we are.
