Words of Wisdom to the Class of 2020 from Your Alumni Commun

Seriously?!?!? What a year to graduate?! Bum luck, kids...sorry for that. Congrats and all that yadda yadda yadda. As one great SUNY prof once told me, “Once you graduate, you know about 20%... the 80% you learn out there!” I have almost 14 years under my belt right now, and those words still ring true today. In the next few years you will be faced with clinical challenges thatwill stress youout. EMBRACE IT! These are the hurdles of learning and growing. Get used to being uncomfortable, find new challenges whether they be academic, clinical or in business. You have a unique opportunity to grow in almost any direction you want! I am part of a group private practice trying to navigate a pandemic. Stressful? Yes! Exciting? Yes! Will I be better after all the drama? Yes! EMBRACE IT! Also, you will make good money so invest early and often in index funds.
