JAMES E. SATES, D.P.M. PRESIDENT Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine JAMES E BATES, OT M rsiuoun To the Clese of 1994: Congratulations! You hava achlovsd the goal that wo discussed at orientation four years ago. You hava earned tha right to tha title. Doctor of fodlatrlc Medicine. Wa wlah each of you health, happlnaaa, and profaaalonal aatlafactlon. You aro the 28th clasa to earn degreoa Isom PCPM. Aa you know, our achool haa dovalopad a aolld quality reputation, and thoao who havo graduated before you have holped to develop a tradition of excellence. it la your reaponalblllty to not only adhero to those traditions, but to enhance thoa an we all atrtvo towarda higher goals. Half a century ago, young graduates of our schools aettled down in quiet practices and wero contonted. Thore may still be placea to settle down and be content for a while. But that is unlikely. Great changes are on the horizon In the health care field, and It la up to you and others who understand health probleaa to see to It that onerglng aysteoa of health care are hotter than wo havo now, not Just different. Xdoallsm alone is no noro capable of designing a workable health systeai than it is of designing a suspension bridge. Neither can a good health syatea be designed by engineers who think In toms of assembly lines. If engineering knowhow can help us get som of the kinks out of the system, fine. But good health care cannot be aass produced. You and other health care professionals will have to stand between the idealists and the engineers, not to keep thee apart, but to bring then together In a way that will benefit patients. This will take acumen, persuasiveness and persistence. You are arsed with all of these qualities and therefore, you will be able to guldo the currents of chango. Do not be dlscouragod, the future is bright. There are sany potholes along the road, but you are prepared. Make no alatake about it. Tomorrow is yours 11 Godspeed.
