Statement of Values
I believe that it is my responsibility to make the world a better place, to alleviate pain and suffering, and to become the best human being that I can. In order to achieve these goals, I must constantly strive to integrate and balance these goals in my daily life.
As a son, brother, husband and father, I will provide my family with constant love and support. I will ensure my family has an opportunity for health, education and well-being. To help my children learn the importance of honesty, integrity and commitment to excellence I must teach by example. I will be a reliable, attentive and trustworthy friend. In all my personal and professional relationships, I must be honest with myself and others. While striving toward the impossible goal of perfection, may I always exhibit the patience and continued work ethic necessary to gradually learn to be better than I currently am. My interest in learning new ways to see reality is essential to shed light on ways to do good in the world.
In my work, I must ensure that excellence is never compromised. I must have the strength, time and opportunity always to correct what wisdom I have acquired, always to extend its domain; for knowledge is immense and there are always opportunities to learn and grow with my patients, colleagues, and business partners. Both personally and professionally, I should be committed to being a good citizen and leader by example.
I will always seek to expand my ability to alleviate suffering with patience and kindness. Rather than accept current standards of care, I will innovate and improve upon them. I will use technology to enhance but not replace the doctor-patient relationship, for healing often requires improving the human condition and not simply treating a given disease. May I teach and enrich the lives of my patients and colleagues as much as I learn from them.
Finally, my faith in God and desire to make the world a better place should sustain me in times of uncertainty. May I always embrace challenges, listen to criticism with grace and accept praise with equanimity. A sense of humor enriches my life and helps me appreciate the adversity, successes and surprises that will come. While I will nurture my ability to recreate myself, I will learn from the wisdom of the past to help guide my actions based upon principles and reality rather than simply follow the latest trend or fashion.
