Arnold gold in 1993 and this was really to foster humanism in medicine and was first celebrated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University the ceremony is designed to impress upon students physicians and the public the important symbolic role of the white coat in the physician patient relationship dr. Gould believed that the relationships he's developed with his patients during his practice of medicine taught him more about the human spirit and that role in the healing process more than any other venue of learning and so we are very pleased to honor and share this tradition with our income students and instill those important values in the next generation of KCU physicians ladies and gentlemen it is now my privilege to introduce you to our president and chief executive officer dr. mark Hahn hey thanks dr.

G Michael Johnston the campus dean for the KC College of Osteopathic Medicine dr. Smith thank you very much sir it's a pleasure to be here and to celebrate with the newest class of osteopathic medical students and I'm deeply honored to participate in this ceremony class of 2022 sounds good we're very committed to providing you with all the tools that you're going to need to successfully complete your osteopathic medical education at Kansas City University and to prepare you for graduate medical education and career pathways for the future you have the support of this team and these are highly dedicated faculty members that are here on the stage and you also have the entire devoted staff serving KCU for one reason and that's because of you I like to brag when I know I'm right about something and what I'm right about is your faculty I would like to ask you our faculty from Casey you and both campuses both Kansas City and Joplin to please stand and to be recognized this is the group of faculty that are going to take you across the finish line the famous writer Leo Tolstoy tells us that we all reach our place in life by standing on the shoulders of those who came before us on behalf of your loved ones in our audience I want to extend a special thank you to your immediate family your significant others and all who have participated and helped you get to this point in your career to practice medicine demands an intellectual acumen and a servant's heart it signifies the willingness to accept responsibility for the welfare of others but it also signifies your willingness to put others first both in thought and in action medical practice historically holds the place of respect respecting our culture and every generation of physicians has to earn that respect this is the greatest job there is on the planet this is not an entitlement that you get this is not a right that you get but you have to earn the privilege to care for patients so today marks the beginning of this transformation process from an individual to becoming a professional you're going to be held to a higher standard and you must continually demonstrate that you deserve the privilege of caring for your patients we have no doubt that this class of 2022 will honor the traditions and honor the obligations of the generations of osteopathic physicians that have preceded you and we feel strongly that you will conduct yourselves with honor and distinction during your time you're at our University and throughout pursuit of your medical careers so I want to say welcome and congratulations and it's my privilege to introduce our current our next president elect of KCU Alumni Association and my dear friend dr.

Shira I now invite student dr. Michael quartz to the podium Michael is a member of our class of 2021 and serves as your Student Government Association president thank you dr. D'Agostino class of 2020 to friends and family distinguished colleagues and mentors I actually think I saw a dog walking in so to the dog as well my name is Michael quartz and I'm the student government president for the 2018-19 school year before I get started I just need to have a confession I'm having a little bit of a freakout for two reasons one it's really intimidating to sit up here with all of these very prestigious people and two it's really weird to be talking all of you when about a year ago that's exactly where I was so I need to sit down and figure out where the last year went no I'm really honored to be speaking today especially the friends and family this was a really special event for me last year my my family came my best friend and his wife came down from Des Moines and then my 95 year old grandparents actually drove from Denver Colorado many Colorado people out there come talk to me afterwards we're gonna take a trip we're gonna watch the Broncos beat the Chiefs but it was really it was a really special moment for me having them there my grandpa's a retired surgeon and World War two vet and my grandma is a cancer survivor and so it was really fervent and surreal and I don't remember all the moments you know I'm still trying to figure out how to hold your white coat and all that stuff but it was one of the top five most reverent moments of my life and so spend as much time with your friends and family this weekend as you can Monday's gonna hit the ground running pretty quickly right and if you guys need suggestions on where to eat I've got some really good places you can't find anywhere else Qdoba chick-fil-a's grade Raising Cane's and you Louisiana folks out there and that's a good segue into what I want to ask of you today and I am talking with students and that's the prioritize relationships the first relationship that I do want you to prioritize is with your friends and family back home you know I'm not I can't claim any success that I've had to this point it's been on the shoulder as much like dr. J said of other people and so you're gonna be hard pressed to find significant inconsistent time with these people that have gotten you to this point right and but it's not so much the quantity of times the quality and the consistency that I think is important and so whether that's spending every Wednesday night on the phone with your mom I'm a Sunday guy so I spend Sunday mornings on the phone with my mom although she just figured out FaceTime and so there's no such thing as a phone call anymore I don't know if she just wants to make sure my beard isn't gross or what but or maybe that's every other Friday designating that to be the date night with your significant other because it's that consistency that is key the second relationship that I want to ask you to prioritize you know their classmates sitting next to you and me too I'm your classmate so be my friend when you look to your left and your right you know these are gonna be your best friends whether you like them or not you could very well not even like your best friend and because you need them and they need you right and you're gonna realize pretty quickly that you need them to get to that finish line and the finish line isn't just the do I just become an excellent doctor okay these might be some of the hardest and maybe not the best years of your life but they're gonna be I've only got one year of experience so take it with a grain of salt but they're gonna be pretty amazing if you can cultivate the mentorships and the friendships with the people around you okay and the third relationship that I want you to prioritize and the most important that I want you to take away with you today is really not a relationship at all and that's with yourself okay you're not just a medical student I said it again you were not just a medical student I wish I had realized that earlier okay the towel and the personality that you bring to KC you are gonna be this is gonna be a support beams that upon which we build the foundation for the University for years to come okay it's not just the technical skills that you learn and I say all this I'm asking you to prioritize these relationships for two reasons one it's gonna go by quickly I told you I don't know where the last year went I need to not go to class for the first week and just sit down and reflect on what happened but to you know medical students and doctors are at an increased risk for depression and anxiety and we need to talk about that and it cannot be taboo because it is incredibly important to realize that and these relationships that you build with the people around you the foundation that you built to this point and with yourself the things that you enjoy I'm gonna help you to handle that stress better so don't forget to look around every once in a while instead of always down at your iPad and your books and always forward to the future because it's gonna go about quickly and you're gonna want to take in every part of this is that you can okay I want to say thank you to all the friends and family again please save travels on the ride home I'd need I say that with sincerity because my 95 year old grandparents their 95 their car caught on fire at the very end of their Drive back so please get help they're fine by the way they might be watching I love you guys please get home safely and thank you it'll be a pleasure to get to meet all of you so thanks thank you Michael so Michael and 430 of his Coast students set a very high bar for you guys so we're gonna be watching you that was great really appreciate it we're pleased to have as our keynote speaker today kamila Rahman Russell do a 2014 Casey eucom graduate dr. Roman Russell currently works as an inpatient corrections psychiatrist at the Harris Center for mental health and intellectual and developmental disabilities and the Harris County Jail in Houston Texas she also serves as an adjunct faculty at Baylor College of Medicine dr. Roman Russell left her mark on kc u by creating two programs that enhance education and career prospects for at-risk teens both of which continue at our school today she was the recipient of Casey used 2014 medallion award in recognition of noteworthy contributions to our institution into our community please join me in welcoming dr. Camilla Roman Russell all right good morning everyone all right so I want to start by saying it is really an honor to be here it's an honor to share this moment with the class of 2022 with your family your friends and the people who care about you I know that you probably mistakenly believe that this is the beginning of your medical education but it is not you got here years ago and today is just a manifestation of your hard work dedication and belief in yourself make no mistake that each of you each and every one of you belong here well everyone's journey to get here was different you have all arrived and that is something to celebrate this is truly a dream come true I know we've congratulated you guys all already but please take a moment to applaud yourselves and the people who helped you get here all right so if you allow me for a few moments I'd like to take your time and briefly tell you my story then we will talk a little bit about an important skill that I hope you will take along this journey for the next four years and hopefully through the rest of your life then we'll get on to what you all came here for okay sound like a plan all right so my story begins with the moment that occurred maybe about 17 years ago I was 19 years old I was a high school dropout I was working a minimum-wage job and I was sitting in a hospital bed alone with my newborn daughter I remember looking at this beautiful infant and wanting the world for her I made a decision like in that moment hours after giving birth to her that I wouldn't expect anything from her that I wasn't willing to do for myself I knew that investing in my own education was the only way that I could change the course of our lives so that's what I did so one week later I enrolled in a community college and I signed up to take the GED exam so what am I can't claim to fame ziz that I have a medical degree and a GED [Laughter] it's actually pretty sad like I never went to grad night in high school and as my daughter approaches senior year I'm like I'm gonna go to your grandma I think that would be awesome she doesn't think so all right so fast forward eight years there was a lot of hard work and dedication to get to where you guys are right now for me I had to work there were times where when I transferred I went to UCLA and when I transferred to UCLA I was commuting sometimes six hours a day public transportation and then working at night you know just to make it but I got here right and I remember sitting at my white coating ceremony and it could have been graduation for me I was like super excited it was like I can't believe I am actually here and it was such a beautiful moment and at that time I was then married and had another child so I started medical school with an 8 year old and a six month old and so for me I was just like I'm gonna kill this right like medical school I've worked hard I'm gonna be at the top of my class because I know like what determination looks like and this is going to be a breeze so I was very wrong [Music] there were in particular my children weren't with me my first year of med school which I thought would be a little bit easier but it was actually really really difficult and there were a lot of times that so the faculty aren't just teaching you medicine they are actually significant support systems right so there was a time that dr. parrot called me on the phone and I'm falling apart crying and where I was I've cried in offices and just like you know in real life how much more these people were to me than just people who were educating me that they meant a lot to me in this process so needless to say there were times where I was probably suffering from clinical depression I was overwhelmed and exhausted pretty much all the time I never worked so hard just to be average I remember one day sitting in my car after a test that I didn't do so well on but I passed barely and I was incredibly disappointed in myself and as I said in my car kind of overwhelmed with emotion it it was like right after a few days where it had been snowing and I watched this woman walking down the street and just in that moment I just decided to watch her and she was pushing a stroller while walking with a small child and I realized that my life experience was more similar to that woman than it was to most of my peers in that watching her I was reminded that no matter how hard this thing was that I was right here where I was supposed to be it wasn't supposed to be easy and there were so many things that really are much more difficult than medical school and as you work with patients you will soon discover that and so I sat and watched her disappear down the street and that day I drove over to the community behind the school I walked into the leasing Center and I asked them what they needed and what we could do what I could do with my fellow classmates to help the children of the community surrounding the school and that was the day that the Riverview tutoring project was created so during my second year I began to work with the group of students at Northeast high school my family was here then and somehow it was like Oh have more responsibilities keep doing more stuff so this worked for me and I was assisting in a biology class and I went there weekly after lectures it helped me just get a little bit of time about an hour to everyday away from school and just to kind of have some moments where I was actively in the community and helping students but one day I arrived in the classroom and the mood was very different I found out that the night before one of the students from the class I have been working with was killed in a drive-by shooting and I sat there devastated with the kids mostly in silence and not really sure what to do or say just feeling very emotionally overwhelmed by really the senselessness of the whole thing and I listened to the students talk with themes of community violence and hopelessness because of where they lived and after some inquiry I realized that these students actually had no idea where I came from and what our school was right in their own backyards and yet our campus could have been in a different universe from them sitting and being still in that moment I knew that I had to do more I knew that these kids needed to know what was accessible to them right in their own backyards and this was the day that the idea for a medical student for a day was created so the moment right now for you all is a beautiful moment take joy in that but make no mistake that this will not be an easy journey for everyone for some of you it will be a breeze and for others it will be very challenging and even if you do amazingly well as a student that does not mean that there will not be other challenges in your life during your time here some of the greatest lessons you will learn in medical school will not come from the classroom the interesting thing about many of you myself included is that I naively believed that life stopped for the rest of the world just because I was in med school life continues and I learned this lesson in a very difficult way at the end of my second year when my brother was murdered and I remember thinking I'm supposed to be studying for step not one not helping to plan a funeral and I want to remind you guys don't get so wrapped and worried about studying for step one that you forget the importance of getting through day one week one again this is just the beginning you all belong here the person who's ranked 270 is just as important as the person who will be ranked number one in the class your patients need you and furthermore the student who will be ranked 270 is still higher rank than the person who didn't get in and this is where the skill comes from the skill of mindfulness and being in the moment allows us to observe and attend to our thoughts feelings events and behaviors without trying to change them we just simply collect data about what is going on in the moment be still and observe this moment sit here and appreciate it after we become aware through observations we can describe our experience the more accurately and richly we describe our experience the more empathy and self-control we will have it is important to separate our experience from reality and understand that feelings or thoughts are just that they are not facts try your best to focus on what it is that you were here for if you believe that not doing well on one test makes you a failure you are very inaccurate because you didn't get here because you're a failure you got here because you were successful you are here to become a healer and you can't help anyone if you first can't take care of yourself try to become more present in alive in each moment of our lives finally remember to check on each other you're going to make lifelong friends here some of you are going to meet your spouse's and other people who would change the course of your life right here amongst your cohort check in with your friends and families as much as possible you'd be surprised how important it is just to be present with one another someone very important to me recently told me that the fastest route to depression is to compare yourself to others he said that training yourself to appreciate without assessment is very helpful so I want to remind you that the white coat you will receive today marks the beginning of a wonderful journey where with pride you earned it but also remember to wear it with humility you now have a great responsibility to the life and well-being of others even as a medical student your white coat carries significance while others see you in it and as a proud member of the medical profession I welcome you to the rest of this journey now let's go be great thank you [Applause] Wow between Michael and Camila I think I want to go back to medical school dr. Winslow you in the audience can I enroll so thank you dr. Ramon Russell for your inspiring words to our new students and now it's time for our ceremony five individuals who have been introduced to you throughout today's program will have the privilege of presenting the members of the class of 2020 to with their white coats they are dr.
