School of Medicine Dean addresses medical student graduates 

In his address to the graduating Class of 2023, Dean David H. Perlmutter, MD, praised the new minted doctors -- many of whom started medical school just months before COVID-19 emerged as a global pandemic -- for their innovation and resolve, while also cautioning them against inaction in the face of growing mistrust of science and medicine.
“You figured out how to accomplish your goals in the midst of a three-year crisis filled with chaos and fear,” he said. “Time and again I and our education team have seen you figure out how to achieve your goals under what I would call the harshest and most hostile conditions we have experienced as a generation. And because of this you are more prepared and better equipped than any other graduating class to date.”
