Committed to Society
In his heartfelt message, Dr. Sorelle reminded the graduates that the essence of the medical profession lies in healing, protecting life, preventing disease, and serving others. He lamented the trend of doctors becoming "sponsors" or promoters of pharmaceuticals, medications, and technology, often without considering the long-term harm these practices might cause. He urged the new doctors to reject these self-serving practices and instead focus on their roles as servants of the population, dedicated researchers, and conscientious scientists who prioritize people's health.
