Dean’s Reflection

I have a group of mentees from each of our DMD classes. Typically, I go out to dinner with each group separately at the start of the year. It has been a tradition for all of the groups to go out at the end of the year to celebrate the “seniors” accomplishments. This year we may not be able to have this gathering. I will miss this get together. I will miss it with all my heart.

I’ve watched “my” students go from “insecure” year 1’s to “knowing” year 2’s, back to “insecure clinical” year 3’s to competent, confident clinicians as year 4’s.

I will not let COVID-19 take away from the fact that “my Year 4’s” will soon be my colleagues, my fellow Doctors!.

We will all raise a glass to soon to be Dr. Shawn Kim, Dr. Qurratulann Khokar, Dr. Amanjot Sarao (My D4s).

We will all raise a glass to all of our D/IS 20s!

Sincerely,

Dean Nadeem Karimbux
