Honoring Education

by David Neff, D.O.
President, MSUCOM Alumni Association

In recent months, I've had the personal opportunity to visit every medical school in the Midwest. In several of these institutions, I've seen graduates from MUSCOM performing in a superb manner. We can all be proud of the reputation MSUCOM has achieved nationally.

As graduates of MSUCOM, we understand the value of excellence in education. It means more than just earning a diploma. It is an experience that influences every part of our lives.

As physicians, we also appreciate the importance of continuing our education by staying on top of current trends and exploring the newest developments in the field. The pursuit of maintaining medical expertise is never-ending.

The MSUCOM Alumni Association is dedicated to serving the college and helping its students - both past and present - get the most out of their education. Through CME courses and alumni gatherings, we help graduates connect with each other. In the process, we are building a strong community within the osteopathic profession. In addition, by donating time or money we can give back to the place where we got our start, and where many more continue to learn and grow.

I know that you will continue to further your own education and we hope that you can help others to do the same. You've seen for yourself what MSUCOM can do for osteopathic education and for the profession itself. Through your involvement in the Alumni Association, you can help support the college and its commitment to excellence.

One of our key themes for this upcoming year is finding ways to "keep it a two-way street" between the alumni and the college. I would gladly accept any suggestions that any of you might offer on how to establish and maintain better communication with the college. Feel free to email me at neff@msu.edu.
