Dear Class of 2014: Congratulations and felicitations! It is with great joy and excitement that 1 regard the wonderful milestone that you have achieved at this point in your education. I am incredibly humbled by your choice of me as your Clinician of the Year. This distinction is all the more meaningful because yours is the first class with which I had the pleasure of w orking throughout the entirety of your third and fourth years. I have witnessed so much grow th in each of you over these past two years, and I look forw ard to your further accomplishments, not only in your personal lives, but in our profession as a w hole. Too. I must recognize the other members of the faculty and staff at Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine as they have been on integral part of your education, and should share in this accolade with me. Each of you has a unique gift. These talents may not be the same for everyone, but each makes you who you are and helps to define you as a physician. No matter how you choose to proceed with your future in medicine, 1 ask that you do so with honesty, integrity, and utmost compassion for your patients and the profession. It isn’t what we do today or tomorrow that is noticed, but what we have done that ultimately will tell the story of our greatness in the end. I conclude my remarks here with some advice. To use an old adage, never forget that there is more than one way to skin a cat. One person’s manner is not necessarily the sole method. You will work with a lot of people throughout your life. Each will provide learning for you, whether it be good or bad. Furthermore, you don't have to implement everything you learn. Take the good, the bad, and the ugly, filter them through logic and sound judgment, and then-and only then-- implement them in your practice. Remember: at the end of the day. you are only as great as the amount of time and effort you have put into being the best you can possibly be. As a physician and a person, you must never stop learning or educating, and you must always go the extra mile to be the best. Doctors of the Class of 2014, it is with the greatest pleasure that 1 welcome you to this great profession. It is truly an honor to now call you my colleagues. Although no longer will you be here physically at TUSPM. please know that my door, email and phone arc always available to you whenever you need me. Best of luck in all of your endeavors. Again, my congratulations! Sincerely, Dr. Moore Joshua L. Moore, DPM JOSHUA L. MOORE, DPM Clinician of the Year
