Your graduation is a proud moment for both you and your families. It is also a proud moment for us as we have seen you develop your clinical knowledge and skills over the last few years. Many of you have had to overcome both personal challenges to get to this point 1 congratulate you and I wish you personal and professional success in the future. When you came to TUSPM you joined a profession that is still evolving and maturing. Even over the course of my own professional lifetime there have been dramatic changes. In order to continue to advance the profession, each and every one of you must be personally involved with helping it grow. Certainly the most important way to do that is to make each and every patient encounter a successful one where you deliver the best possible care in a caring and compassionate way. In addition there are other ways that you can contribute to the profession: research, education, and political leadership are just a few of the different ways that together we can advance the profession. For me, this has been a wonderful place to receive my own education and a wonderful place to have the opportunity to teach you. The profession provides outstanding opportunities for each and every one of you that you can seize with hard work and dedication. Again, congratulations on your success and good luck In your future endeavors. 1 hope that you will look back upon the knowledge you gained at TUSPM as the foundation upon which your career was built 8
