David R. Cole, Ed.D. Dean For Clinical Education Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine DAVID R COLL Ed D DEAN roa CUNtCAL COUCAtlOft Dear Class of 1990: As you read this, you aay still be getting used to being called Doctor”, but this awkwardness generally passes quickly. This title is unique in our socioty; it represents significant achievement, dedication, and ability. You have, as the result or your many years of training, earned this honor. I applaud your achievement. I also wish to extend my thanks to you. You have-not only survived PCPH's traditionally difficult curriculum, but you have also played a large role in making it better for your future colleagues. PCPM implemented the redesign of its clinical curriculum during your tenure. Change generally comes slowly in an academic community. When it does come, generally one class must deal with it all at once. Yours was such a class. The implementation of this change added stresses which nobody needed. Yet at each point, be it the new fourth year requirements. Psychiatry, Allied Facilities, or at any of the other pressure points which were a result of this change, the Class of 1990 exhibited patience, professionalism and the vitality required to soo it through. This was not always easy, and we did not always agree. However, we learnod and grew through tho experience, and thus, the program prospered. Each of you contributed to tho success of the PCPH's new curriculum, and should feel pride in your accomplishment. Now is a time for new beginnings and new successes. Your profession is growing and maturing. You will have a vory important role to play in shaping its future. You are, perhaps, uniquely fit for this phenomenon. I am confident that your class, the first class of the last decade of the twentieth century, will be able to handle these innovative challenges creatively and with a sense of responsibility. Congratulations to all of you. My hope is that your careers will bring you peace, prosperity and a sense of fulfillment. EICHTH AT RACE STREET • PHILADELPHIA. PA 19107 • 215-629-0300

Francis F Drrk Senior Editor Achilles «l To lhe Class of 1990, II has been an extreme pleasure being your class editor these last four years. If not for the hardwork and dedication of the Achilles Staff, the memories captured before you would all be forgotten. I hope that someday when you look back in time, you will glimpse through these pages and remember that path we all traveled together, and the fun, happiness, and friendships we experienced. Perhaps someday our paths will cross again, and if so, may we hold true those bonds that united us as the Class of '80. Sincerely yours. Francis F. Derk 9
