Assistant Dean for Institutional Research and Program Integrity May 14. 2013 Dear Members of the Class of 2013: Congratulations on your achievement. The sacrifices and efforts you have made during the last four years have borne fruit as you are awarded the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. It is well to remember that you did not ascend this summit alone; you had the help and support of others, were they friends, family, or faculty. It is also well to remember that all good things including humility are best taken in moderation. However much others were there for you during your studies, you and you alone did the heavy lifting, so be proud! You are graduating at a time of accelerating change in the healthcare delivery system in this country. The role of podiatric medicine in evolving healthcare models is uncertain. As almost everyone who has shot rapids and livod to tell about it knows, you cannot control your fate if you simply flow with the current. 1 encourage all of you to be proactive and steer the course with all your resources, not only for your own good, but for that of the profession. Identify the niche where your skills best serve the needs of your patients, carve it out. and show the world how the best and most cost-effective healthcare is provided. When you shine, we all do. You are well prepared to meet the challenges ahead and I have faith in you. Please stay in contact and let us know of your future accomplishments. May fair winds be always at your backs and rising stars on your horizons. Better still. I hope to always see your stars rising on my horizon. Sincerely. Samuel J. Spadone, D.P.M.
