Even under threat I will not use my knowledge contrary to the laws of humainity These promises I make fully and upon my honor. Podiatrist Creed These following fundamental beliefs are expressed as standards of ethical conduct and propriety of podiatrists, individually and collectively with patients, colleagues, members of allied health professions and the public: To render service to humanity with impartial respect for the dignity of man. To provide a full and complete measure of professional service and attention to patients in the practice of Podiatric Medicine. To unhesitatingly serve consultation in difficult or doubtful circumstances where it appears that the quality of service and therapy to the patient can be enhanced. To continue the improvement of knowledge and skills for the benefit of patients and professions. To conduct the practice of podiatry as a credit to the profession. To never accept limitations that might destroy or interfere with the exercise of best judgement and skills or the quality of performance. To regard the confidence and information received from patients with professional care and understanding. To fully offer service and participate in the health pro grams for the public in keeping with the integrity of the profession. Bohdan Terleckyj, M.S. IN MEMORIAM The entire PCPM Community suffered a great loss when Bohdan Terleckyj. M.S.. Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, passed away on January 16. 1997 at the age of 48. Mr. Terleckyj received his baccalaureate and masters degrees from Temple University and spent his entire 22 year professional career at PCPM teaching podiatric medical students and conducting research that contributed significantly to the profession. His skill and dedication to teaching and the genuine care he had for each of his students was rewarded by being selected as teacher of the year on three separate occasions. To his colleagues, he was always ready and willing to help when called upon and his motivation was never for personal recognition, but for the good of the institution and the profession. Bohdan Terleckyj had a positive impact on all who knew him. His students who learned from him and his colleagues who worked with him are better for having had that experience. His passing will leave a void. Bohdan Terleckyj will be greatly missed, but the memories we have of him will always bring a smile and will sustain us. 4 I3CHTH AT RACE STREET • PlULACELPHlA.

(Hey. rumor has it 1 might be getting a job someday soon...) Mom and Dad: Your love, support, encouragement and die occasional kick in the butt has truly made it possible for me to lx where I am today. 1 can only begin to express how grateful 1 am to have you two as my role models, my parents and also as my friends. Thank you 1 love you both! Bren: I'm sure it couldn't have been easy growing up with such a sister: thanks for loving me anyway. I hope that life gives you whatever it is that you want. Remember I love you. Betty Ann: You have always been there with support and faith in me when 1 needed it most: f've really appreciated it. Thank you for all of your help - 1 love you.

Everyone says you can’t choose your family; I know no-one could pick a better crowd! I love you all. Rita: Ma Hell thanks you for the million $ and I thank you for everything else. You are truly the greatest friend (not to mention a damn good M.O.H.!) Carrie: Can you believe this 4 years is over? (And that SAC is closed?) 1 am so glad we're going to be in the same area for (at least) another 2 years. Thank you for all of your support, both academically and emotionally. Our friendship is one of the best things Carlos Arroyo-Romeu, D.P.M. Inter-American University B.S. Biology Pre-Med Thanks To my wife Suzanne for her Love and Patience To my Mom and Dad for their Motivation To my brother Ahmed and my sister Sharon for their Support And to my good friends Udi. Talal. Jim. Adnan and Brian, Thank You and Good Luck Constantine G. Barbounis, D.P.M. Syracuse University B.S. Biology I thank God for giving me the wisdom, strength, and patience to achieve this goal in my life and I pray He guide's me in the days ahead. Mom and Dad: Words cannot express my appreciation lor both of you. Without your endless support, guidance, and faith nothing would be possible. You taught me the true meaning of hard work and dedication through your lives and this accomplishment is as much yours as it is mine. You are the best parents anyone could have and I am very proud to be your son. Ic Ayarco Lee and Vasili: My three sons. I could not ask for better brothers than you guys. My life would not be the same without you both there for me. I remember all the good times we had and hope there is more to come. I challenge you to follow your dreams. It was a fun ride and I wish you all happiness and success. Special thanks to Dan and Dave. Wiens. George Y.. and the DU boys who all kept me sane for four years; EMK for your smiles, friendship, and love which always made life easier for me. ’Therefore be at peace with God whatever you conceive Him to be. and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be HAPPY. -Desiderata MnappnouvaiiKa y N.C. State University B.S. Applied Mathematics Farshad Bathaee, D.P.M I came to this school with a lot of uncertainty and confusion. Vs the years went by. the uncertainty of the future became bigger and bigger to the point that not one day went by that 1 didn't think about it. Meanwhile classes got harder and harder, and days longer and longer. At times I thought this was a suicide that was going to take four years—How painful! There were happy moments which seemed minute at the time compared to all the hardship and frustrations-applying for residencies and filling out those sheets for Ardan who was always at lunch with Tammi. But I guess one thing never changed and that is the love of my parents and my sister and brother. My parents were always there It) cheer rne up—sent me food, my brother was my best friend, and my sister the one I cried to. i guess unconditional love is even better than a residency program. I made some friends and might have hurt others. I'm sorry for the ones hurt and happy to have known my friends. And then there was Bmilio. It was fun to have lived with him It was fun taking those trips--Hershey. Boston (shame on you and Sherri). D.C. (Hay'you doin?). APMA news... I think he's the only one who truly knows what I went through in the past 4 long years. Thanks for understanding... You're looking for THIS?? By the way PenPlax never wrote back. To Class of 97--I would've wanted it any other way. It was the best class that could ever be at PCPM and we all know that. Good luck and best wishes to every single one of you. Anette Brzozowski, D.P.M Rutgers University B.S. Biology Mommy: Thank you for your unending love, support, guidance. I cannnot tell you how grateful I am to have a mother like you. You have always put my life dreams ahead of yours unselfishly I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it. I love you dearly. Andy: Thank you for always being there for me big brother. Your love support means a great deal to me. To my family: Thank you for all the things you've done for me over the years. It made all the difference in the world. 1 love you all. RL' Roommates friends from home: What can 1 say about all the times we shared besides AWESOME . You guys were always there for me, 1 couldn't have survived college without you (but my grades would have been better). Thanks for all the good times in the past the better times to come. Kelly Christa: These last four years were great thanks to the two of you. Always remember the good times like Cancun Florida I can't wait to make more memories in the future.

'Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 My beautiful mother... we will share this doctorate degree becausfe apart from God, you have been my greatest source of encouragement. You have celebrated with me in my victories and cried with me in my sorrows. You have taught me well to race toward my dreams, to swiftly jump over obstacles and to strive for excellence in all I do. Thank you for teaching me the importance of prayer, for cheering the loudest when the finish line seemed far away, for homemade soup during final exams, hours of driving so 1 could study and for always loving me unconditionally.

The precious values that you have instilled in me have turned my dreams into reality. Can you believe your little girl has grown up to lx a doctor? However that doesn't mean you can stop spoiling me now. My Charming Brothers and Sisters: 1 owe my sanity to you guys! You've been my anchor over the years. Thanks for always including me even when I was not around. Can you lend me a twenty ? To Frankie and Christie: Thank you for being the children in my life. When I am around you guys nothing else matters. You made my visits home so much sweeter.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonged to him. and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him. he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it. LORD.you said that once I decided to follow you. you'd walk with me all the wav. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. 1 don’t understand why. when ! needed you most you would leave me. The LORD replied. My precious, precious child. 1 love you and I would never leave you.

Puzo, D.P.M It's been tough to put down in words how the last four years of my life have been. Getting through PCPM has been the most difficult thing I've had to do. Only those who have graduated truly understand the effort and patience needed to complete this schooling. I'm here today proud to be a DrM much because of the effort I have put in but also because of the support of mv parents. Support which has been emotional, FINANCIAL, ana never ending. Ever since my first difficult math test in 3rd grade my parents have had only encouragement for me. They were there to see me through many challenges ana each time I succeeded. As much as mv parents are proud of me, words can not say how proud I am of them. There are others to thank also. My friends, too numerous to mention, all special and all full of encouragement for me when they knew times were tough. I'm lucky to have such a group of friends. And'to my manv cousins, uncles and aunts always telling me to stay positive and to work hard and wondering when the hell I'll be done with school. WEI.I I'M DONE!!! To my roommates thanks for making life bearable and for all the laughs. To FB- too many things to say, but most importantly we'd better have a residency by now. All those late nights studying, all those weird patients, WELL'WE PAINTED THE TOWN - you and me!!! To the Osowshi's - what a great family. I'm fortunate to know you and to have you in my life. Thanks for not'yelling about all those phone and SUNOCO bills. And to the one person who truly kept my sanitv in a little jar next to her phone ever)' night, Sherri -1 absolutely wouldn't be here without your love and support. You have also put up with a lot over the last four years and don't think I'm not aware ofit. Simply put, you're the most unselfish and cheerful person I've ever met. It's the' thought of vour smile that truly keeps me gome. I can never thank you enough for all you have done. You're the best BABS!!! I love you.
