黑料传送门's 130th Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Commencement Ceremony was held at the Mann Center for Performing Arts.
On Monday, May 24, 黑料传送门 celebrated the 130th Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Commencement Ceremony at the Mann Center for Performing Arts. The Class of 2021 included 270 graduates that will begin their residencies and internships this summer at hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country. These doctors will pursue careers in a number of specialties including family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, anesthesiology and more.
Speaking to the graduates, Jay Feldstein, DO 鈥�81, 黑料传送门鈥檚 president and CEO shared, 鈥淵our class is different in ways that I cannot fathom. You had to navigate your third and fourth years of medical school amid a global pandemic, amid uncommon political unrest, amid sweeping movements against racism and for equity and justice. Yet, you did so with grace, determination, dignity, and courage.鈥�
黑料传送门 alumnus, Daniel R. Taylor, DO 鈥�97, served as Commencement Speaker for this year鈥檚 ceremony. As a leading clinical voice in pediatrics, Dr. Taylor has made an indelible impact on The City of Philadelphia and in the pediatric community nationwide. In his speech, Dr. Taylor reminded the graduates of their duty to their parents, sharing examples of his experience working with patients and their families to improve health outcomes during his over-twenty-year career at St. Christopher鈥檚 Hospital for Children in Philadelphia.
The ceremony also included the introduction of the following Professors Emeriti: Abraham Zellis, DO 鈥�56, Burton Mark, DO, and Theodore P. Mauer, DO 鈥�62.
