ATSU总裁克雷格·菲尔普斯（Craig Phelps），’84，向罗斯·李博士（Ross-Lee）博士介绍了教育学位的骨质疗法的名誉医生，以表彰她的杰出职业和为该职业服务。

Dr. Ross-Lee discussed expectations graduates will find placed upon them by their families, friends, colleagues, communities, and more, and listed her own expectations for the class of 2022.

“I expect you to be good. Do the best you can do and be the absolute best you can be. Somebody’s life may depend upon that. Be wise. Use your education, but don’t abandon common sense. Employ good judgment based on the knowledge and skills you have attained. Continue to learn, because ‘status quo’ is a formula for mediocrity, and no one here aspires to be mediocre,” Dr. Ross-Lee said. “Be proud. Osteopathic medicine has succeeded against all odds to contribute value to healthcare. Each of you must be confident the contributions you will make to the health of this nation as an osteopathic physician are distinctive and important, because they are. Be visionary. Change has been described as the only constant. Nowhere is change occurring more quickly and is more evident than in healthcare. Be a change agent and contribute to the change that will make things better for the populations you will serve in the profession you represent.

“我相信您会满足或超越所有这些期望，因为您的学校选择了您，并教育您成为骨质疗法医学的骄傲和独特职业的成员。您是这个职业的未来。增强它并很好地保护它，因为我们为医疗保健带来了重要而有价值的观点。没有整骨医学，美国医学将减少。”

在ATSU董事会的问候中，乔纳森·克莱弗（Jonathan Cleaver），do，faocd，faad，faad，fasms，’08，成员提醒毕业生，使他们与医学界其他人的区别。

Cleaver博士说：“我们的学生和教职员工是强调全人保健的杰出传统的一部分。”“这种方法始于对身体，思想和精神的相互作用的信念，它继续理解如何将这些维度视为一个。”

菲尔普斯博士在闭幕词中指出了毕业生的“专业宣誓”，并希望他们每个人都在职业生涯中保持着一致。

“The phrasing which always strikes me is ‘patient and friend.’ You will develop many incredible friendships, not only with your fellow physicians and in your community, but with those folks who come to you when they are most vulnerable,” Dr. Phelps said. “In return, many wonderful things will happen for you out in your community because you treated them not as a patient, but as a friend.”
