WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE CLASS OF 2016

“ Congratulations to the class of

2016 and I want you to believe in

yourselves as we believe in you.”

“Residency training is an opportunity

to expand your clinical training beyond

medical school. You want to make the

most of this time by exposing yourself

to every clinical experience that you

are able. You will mature in your

thinking and your confidence will

grow. I wish you the best of luck in

whatever path you choose.”

-Burt Perlmutter BUSM ’63


“The most difficult part of your

medical education is behind

you Internship and residency

are MUCH more clinical and

what you learn will be much

more relevant to your future

career. Stay focused and the

joys of being a physician will

be yours.

CONGRATULATIONS! ”
