At the same time, I suppose that you feel that it couldn’t have come any sooner. That feeling hopefully of can’t wait , is developed out of a sincere desire to move on with your education and join the ranks of the profession with a degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, to stand side-by-side as colleagues. Larry M. Newman, DPM, You are to be congratulated because this is a great achievement and it could only have . happened through hard work and dedication. I MUirtw Remember that graduation is a commencement and is actually a new beginning and by all accounts you’re in a tremendous position at this time for a wonderful professional future. Hopefully, the further you get into your post graduate experiences in your professional life, you will come to appreciate even more the foundation that was laid during your four years of podiatric medical school. The advantages that you will have in the coming years should be embraced with open arms and hopefully you will all continue to be life-long learners. It is important, in your professional life, to intersperse a total experience regarding family, friends, and other interests that you enjoy. Doing this will give you the opportunity to stay strong, and to be able to remain energized in your efforts to take care of your patients in the future. Please remember us, and remember too that we welcome you in the future to call upon us for any further guidance and support. I also urge you to keep in mind that it is very important to give back to your school and profession. Larry M. Newman, DPM, FACFAS Assistant Dean Medical Director 2007 Acriilles 11

Graduates of the Class of 2007: As I write this, some six months in advance of your commencement ceremony, I am unsure how to address you. I know this yearbook will be published and available prior to your graduation, per se. However, I am confident that each of you. having completed a rigorous course of study, will receive the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine by the time this letter is intended to be read. Therefore, I think it is appropriate to address you as my colleagues now for the first time instead of as my students, and I am grateful for the opportunity to do so. I have been fortunate in becoming a faculty member at TUSPM and to have witnessed the profound transformations that accompanied your journeys from first year students to fledging doctors. Observing this metamorphosis has always been the most rewarding part of my work. In this. I am sure that I speak, not for myself, but for the entire faculty of the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. You have undergone rigorous training, more on par with that in any other medical discipline than before in the history of Podiatric Medicine, and far more so than that now afforded at any of the other schools and colleges in our profession. Despite the meticulous planning and contingency analyses that preceded the implementation of our new curriculum there have been “growing pains but you have adapted and overcome each of them. You have a right to be proud of your achievements. I am envious of the training you have received for, while I wished for it as a student myself, it was not to be. 1 have several personal requests to make of each of you at this time. First, please let us know of your accomplishments in the future. Second, never hesitate to call upon any of us if we can be of assistance in your future endeavors. Finally, go forth and make us proud! Congratulations on your accomplishments and best wishes for success in your personal lives and professional careers. J2i’ Samuel J. Spadone, D.P.M.
