Learning to Lead
Every student who graduates from the college of medicine leaves their mark in some way. From the impact on faculty, through research or QI projects or the lives of their patients, the institution, the city and the state are better for your efforts. No matter where you go, we hope you will maintain your relationships with your classmates and faculty members. Be engaged and invested in their lives. Advocate for your patients, whether its in the boardrooms of the hospital or the halls of government, lead the way in creating health care policies that are fair and beneficial for everyone.
