Always “measure twice and cut once.” Always listen before you speak. Always photograph your work. Always audit your clinical results. 6) Fiscal responsibility lays a great foun- dation for success. Seek advice from a fi- nancial expert for the purpose of loan re- payment and future planning. Be smart and practical with investments if you’re starting your own practice. 7) Excellence is a process, not an event. Continually challenge yourself to do your best. Define your five-year goals and renew them every four to five years. 8) Know your limitations. Be forthright about your level of experience and refer out that which you don’t feel comfort- able. Don’t be afraid to say you don’t know. 9) Being involved in your profession is the best continuing education you will ever have. Be active in the associations you join and attend meetings when you can. Use them to network and learn how others handle the same issues you face. 10) Remember, you are in control of your own career. When you graduate, your faculty is not looking over your shoulder. There are no check-off lists to complete. You are now in control and it’s up to you to make what you will of “ GRADUATE, Page D1 your opportunity. We hope our experience serves you well as you embark on this next phase of your career.
