Dear Class of 2018,Congratulations on matching! After 4 years of grueling studying and clinical rotations, this is surely a well-earned milestone - and a moment to relax before you move onwards and upwards! No doubt residency will challenge you to continue growing; but if you find yourself ever in doubt, just know that in your foot steps follow future classes of med students at VCU SOM who look up to you as examples of who they want to be. For example, you binged on medical knowledge from the fire hydrant and lived to tell the tale. But just as important, you helped each other along the way, found ways to foster your interests, touched the lives of patients, and mentored those that follow you. Best of wishes wherever you go next, and thank you for all that you have contributed!
With love, Medical Student Government |
