The long-awaited day of acknowledgment has arrived.  Your perseverance, professionalism, and commitment to lifelong learning will be celebrated with family, friends, mentors, and faculty. This Commencement exercise is like none other you’ve celebrated.

Your preparation by trials of academic rigor, being forced out of your comfort zone, and the outstanding role-modeling of the faculty (both in the field and at RVU) have prepared you to succeed in the next step toward the independent practice of medicine. Residency training will continue to test your preparation, commitment, and passion. The residency experience will provide the opportunity for you to use your team-building skills, communication expertise, and collection of knowledge to ensure the challenges of your generation of healthcare providers will meet the uncharted course of the changes you will face in the next millennium.

Your future is secure but your responsibility is unending. Please reflect on the passion you brought to your commitment to study medicine, your desire to make a difference and to care for those in physical and/or emotional distress. The belief in the osteopathic philosophy, the DO Touch, makes you very special and unique in the healthcare provider spectrum.

RVU remains your home of record.  Please carry our mission, values, and belief in your success to the all those you touch. Be a proud alum and keep us informed of your success, struggles, and needs. We will always be here for you.

Godspeed and blessings,

Clint
