  Johnson was chosen by his peers to speak, but he was intent on sharing the spotlight with his fellow graduates and new physicians. He named six classmates and shared stories of when they inspired him “to be a better doctor and — more importantly — to be a better person.” pic.twitter.com/HhjEkLK3Ti

  On Sunday morning, the MD Class of 2023 stepped through the Van Wickle Gates, cheered on by thousands of alums, faculty and friends during the traditional Procession before making their way to a ceremony all their own. During his speech, Associate Professor Steven Rougas, who leads the all-important doctoring program, declared, “Learners, you may begin.” A phrase these physicians heard countless times throughout their training but now takes on a whole new meaning.“This phrase is your entry into a world unknown. It is an invitation to a patient’s life – their pain, triumphs, frustrations and worry.”Rougas explained that understanding someone’s story is the first step to changing their life. A sentiment that was echoed in student speaker John Johnson’s speech that emphasized the importance of collaboration. Johnson was chosen by his peers to speak, but he was intent on sharing the spotlight with his fellow graduates and new physicians. He named six classmates and shared stories of when they inspired him “to be a better doctor and — more importantly — to be a better person.” Johnson wished for everyone to “be knowledgeable enough to lead, but modest enough to be led. To be confident enough to speak, but thoughtful enough to listen. To be selfless enough to be there for others, but introspective enough to be there for ourselves. To be proud enough to maintain our character, but humble enough to grow.”In his address, Dean Mukesh Jain set the tone for the careers ahead of our more than 100 new graduates. “Your generation of physicians, like many before, will face significant challenges,” he said. “Do not shy away from challenges. Remember that you are empowered to affect change by virtue of your identity and that you have a responsibility to do so – to impact human health for social good.”Congratulations, Class of 2023! Don’t forget to look back before you go forth and change a world that needs you now more than ever. ... See MoreSee Less
