It was the start of another school year. Another beginning that have brought a tinge of fears and challenge to a third year medical student's heart. He was glad to be finally there, the seemingly last year of hard school work. But as he looked back, he felt that there must have been more to it than this new white V-neck uniform and another pile of books to read.It was a time when students bore the weight of a certain identity, looking in pride and confidence. Was it enough to have gained the status of a Medical Student or was there more to this so - called symbol of excellence? Being and purpose, these were what was in everybody's mind that first a group of young hopefuls committed themselves to a cause, we now call - MEDICI OMNES DUCIENS.
The fraternity's existence was sparkled by a need to redirect the campus student's evolving picture of Men of Medicine. The objective of his labor had to be clear to him, to comprehend his vital essence in college and his eventual responsibilities as a physician.The formula was simple and relevant - DEDICATION, SERVICE AND BROTHERHOOD: three pillars that withstood time since that night in August of 1982.
It has been said " A man realizes how tall he is, when he needs the call to stand up". Our Fraternity and Sorority - call you today in the very same spirit it had been founded on. To this day, MEDICI OMNES DUCIENS, Has grown from dreams of thirteen men to a reality of more than 400 members. And yet the formula has remained the same since that feeling of every medical student to meet the challenge of his time and the needs of his people still perpetuate to this day.
MEDICUS distinguished and elevated pride from that which evolves from confidence and impels men and women to do their best. The greatest insult foisted on any man is to be called common. No one wishes to be common or remain common. In every heart beats the desire to become remarkable. That gives us a cutting edge to achievement and self-confidence.
DEDICATION, SERVICE AND BROTHERHOOD
in our pursuit of,
MEDICI OMNES DUCIENS (MEDICINE CHANNEL FOR ALL).
