Your practice life will be filled with many changes in both the care and delivery of medical and surgical management of patients with foot and ankle disorders. In order to both enjoy the profession to the fullest and provide your patient with the best care, it will be incumbent upon you to work as hard in the future to learn and gain new knowledge as you have done over the past four years. This is the completion of just one phase of your learning. One of the most exciting aspects of your profession is that it provides you with continuing intellectual stimulation. You will also have the opportunity to develop many personal relationships with your professional colleagues and with patients. Podiatric medicine is a great career and you have much to be excited about and to look forward to; I congratulate you on completing this milestone in your life. I know that your families in particular arc proud of your accomplishment. I wish you every success in the future and hope that you will always view TUSPM as your professional home CJUj2— Kieran T Mahan, DPM Professor of Department of Podiatric Surgery Associate Dean for Research 9
