Mhur C MWW O'M m.u.!v n inn February 7, 1983 To The Class of 1983 The past twenty-five years have soon many changes in our Profession of Podiatry. We have seen our educational system mature and the end product of that system, our students, assume more responsible positions of leadership in the health care field. We have seen a greater involvement of podiatry in the health care delivery system with emphasis on institutional dolivery, such as hospitals and long-term care facilities. We have seen a public recognition of the need for foot health to maintain an ambulatory population and seer, the impact on our social and economic systoms when individuals become immobile. In the next decade we can expect our educational system to continue to grow as we recognize that professional education is a continuing process to be followed throughout one's career. Ke can expect our role in the health care delivery system to expand as new modes of care patterns and delivery systems evolve. We can expect to see a greater involvement of podiatry in hospitals and other institutional and organizational methods of care. We can expect to see a greater focus on the need for foot health as our population ages and tho care of chronic diseases becomes more important. For the diabetic and elderly, Podiatry is indeed an essential health service. Ke can expect to see prevention and wellness as a need for the future. As you now begin your formal careers in Podiatry, romember to always bo proud of your profession. Remember to bo strong but always recognize wnen you need help to care lor your patients. Remember to be honest in all ways and to be humble. Remember that knowlodge is the foundation for your future. Remember to have compassion. Remember to have a clear heart and to aim for high goals. Remember to follow your aim with dignity. Learn to master yourself before you attempt to master others. Remember to laugh but never forget how to weep. Learn to reach for the futuro but never forget the post or those who helped make our profession what it is today. After all of these things, remember to have a senso of humor so that you can bo serious. Remember to respect the rights of others and to always accord the elderly, the dignity of age.
