As the end of the year approaches, it is a very good time to reflect on our many accomplishments at the Medical College in the last twelve months. In the face of the many challenges that have confronted us, we have remained committed, as a community, to our threefold mission of education, innovative research, and exceptional medical care.
Looking forward to 2006, let us remember to have compassion for the suffering of others, to express gratitude for our own personal blessings, and to renew our dedication to achieving our highest goals.
Wishing you health, happiness, and peace in this holiday season,
Dean Antonio Gotto Jr.
