Treasurer Secretary Student C ouncll Rc p The Medical Class of 1966 The evolution of a medical student to a M.D. is a slow and frustrating process. The first two years consist of labs, lectures, hours of unrewarding study and numerous exams. All too often we lose sight of our final goal and we live and breathe for that Anatomy or Pathology quiz two days away. Each year a few more of our classmates drop back, fail or are expelled and we become hardened against the school and medicine. The final insult comes with the National Board Exams. During that three weeks of near hell we wonder if it is really worth all the hardshipg we all made it though, but are left with a bitter taste in our mouths. As the third year begins we have the same attitude except there is no pressure. There are no exams to push us and no one is going to call us in if we don't start that IV or draw that blood. However, our attitude has slowly changed, we accept the responsibility put before us and learn as we never have before. We do not need an exam to make us read about an interesting case! It is done naturally and with a great deal of pleasure. We are surprized that we can show compassion and concern for our patients. We are also sad- dened as misfortune befalls our fellow classmates. As .the year ends we can look back at what we have learned about medicine and especially about ourselves. We can also look forward to just one more year and that M.D. degree.
