In Their Own Words
“As I graduated with my MD–PhD, you were among the first I thought of. Thank you for being my karate sensei, training partner, life mentor, and brother throughout my seven-year journey through medical school. Your example of dedication, selfless giving, integrity, eagerness to teach, and commitment to truth over tradition motivated me to be better, try harder, and never stop learning. You inspired me not only to succeed, but to strive to improve the world around me. Thank you. Oss.”
