Letter from Hippocratic Council President

To the graduating Medicine Class of 2021,

I would like to extend, on behalf of the entire Hippocratic Council and all of Schulich Medicine, a sincere congratulations. This journey has been an arduous one for sure; your class faced more adversity than any other class before it. Throughout the uncertainty, last minute changes to your clinical work and everything else you have had to endure, you have done nothing but show every class following you how incredibly hard-working and committed you are. We could not have asked for better role models, colleagues or friends.

Your path is now set, you know where you will go and what you will do. I’m sure you are looking back on your time together as a class as one filled with happiness, support, challenges, disagreements and everything else that is expected of a family. As you each move on to your new journeys, while separated by distance, you are connected by the relationships, friendships, and comradery that you have built over these years at our School. Those relationships will always be there, as it’s a part of what makes our community strong.

Once again, congratulations on making it to this point. The Class of 2021 has set a high standard for those who follow in your footsteps.

This is not a goodbye, just a see you later.

Sincerely,

Your Hippocratic Council President and friend,
Montana Hackett
