Historical day in the Temple of the Monastery of Los Jerónimos in the act of Graduation of the First Promotion of the Degree in Medicine of the UCAM.
Six courses of hard academic work that end with the imposition of the yellow gold scholarships that gleamed for the first time at the Catholic University.
The presidential table was formed by José Luis Mendoza, president of the UCAM;
Josefina García, rector of the University;
Jerónimo Lajara, dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences;
Pedro Guillén, honorary dean of the Degree in Medicine;
and Juan Carlos Izpisua, Professor of Developmental Biology.
In his speech, José Luis Mendoza wanted to emphasize the historic moment that the event involved: "You are the first medical promotion of the UCAM, I want to congratulate you for the great job you have done. You are going to be great doctors, for me the the most beautiful profession that exists, and here you have a luxury godfather in the figure of Juan Carlos Izpisua with whom you can always count ".
In addition, he highlighted the great faculty that has the UCAM but did not want to overlook the Catholic character of the institution that will be reflected in the performance of these brand new graduates: "How doctors are called to be defenders of life , from its natural conception to the arrival of natural death ".
The rector addressed the students telling them that now new goals are coming: "All the doctors trained here have the skills to be great professionals, and you will be, with your work and your performance you will contribute to make this University great and your degree "
He also referred to the many difficulties that the UCAM has been put to implement and develop this career and referring to the practices in public hospitals, stressed that it is surprising that it is the Regional Administration itself that introduces doubts and an unfair law by discriminatory, ensuring that the institution, and especially its president, has fought and will continue to do so for the rights of its students.
Juan Carlos Izpisua, who acted as sponsor of this first class of doctors at the UCAM, offered the young graduates some advice for their professional future: "Dare to fulfill your dreams, live to discover, remember that the cure begins in the investigation. Always be positive and look forward. "
In addition, he assigned them the responsibility of "that you be the ones who bring to the clinic the results that are being obtained in the laboratory, I know that you are going to be the great doctors that the UCAM has wanted to train." Here, a great academic training is offered " .
Another voice of the experience was that of Pedro Guillén, one of the most prestigious sports traumatologists in the world.
The archenero doctor wanted to share some knowledge with the students of the UCAM offering a valuable advice transmitted from the experience: "Listen to the patient, you have to understand and put yourself in. There is nothing bigger for a doctor than the grateful look of a patient".
Jerónimo Lajara, who has lived this six-year journey of the first class of doctors from the UCAM, addressed some emotional words to his students and their families: "All the difficulties we have encountered have been part of the best training we can have. a professional doctor. "
The speech of the students' representative, Pablo Párraga, also reminded his classmates that new challenges are coming: "We have made a titanic effort, we have hesitated and we have supported ourselves. they will separate but each one will take the best of the other ".
As a sign of belonging to the Catholic University, at the end of his speech he deposited the name of all the graduates of the First Promotion of Medicine next to the image of the Virgin.

The Medicine is a vocational career that has a strong family attachment component so it is not uncommon to see how the passion for this profession has passed from parents to children, from generation to generation.
It is something that was seen in the graduation of the first class of Medicine, since if there were many doctors who graduated, there were also among the assistants.
Parents and grandparents who see their children and grandchildren follow the family tradition, while in other cases there were families who saw a child for the first time, achieve the challenge of graduating as a doctor.
There was also a large representation of the faculty of doctors who have accompanied the students in their training, both in the classroom and in practice to live a journey that is already history for the Catholic University of Murcia.
