ULTIMATE MEDICAL ACADEMY Fall Commencement Ceremony September 12, 2015 HEALTHCARE PLEDGE (derived from the Hippocratic Oath) I solemnly pledge myself to practice faithfully all of my duties as a member of the professional healthcare team. I hold the care of the sick and injured to be a privilege and a sacred trust. I will assist the physician with loyalty and honesty. I will hold all personal matters pertaining to the private lives of patients in strict confidence. I dedicate my heart, mind and strength to the work before me. I shall do all within my power to show in myself, an example of all that is honorable and good throughout my medical career. 2 Dear Graduates, On behalf of the Faculty and Staff at Ultimate Medical Academy, I would like to offer my sincere congratulations on a job well done. It is your courage and desire to make a change that got you here today. You are in the right place at the right time as the need for trained medical personnel continues to grow, especially here in Florida. You have everything you need to succeed, now it’s time to create a plan of action to reach your goals. Remember, nothing worthwhile happens overnight. Continue to rely on your courage and determination to achieve a better future for yourself and your family. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, ‘here is an opportunity for me to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.’” So go out, celebrate, and use your power to succeed.

ALPHA—The first letter of the Greek alphabet, stands for Athena, the goddess of Wisdom and patroness of the arts, crafts, and sciences. Alpha also means the first of anything and represents the brightest star in a constellation. BETA—The second Greek letter, represents Brasidas, a distinguished Spartan General who fought with courage, and who reminds us of our opportunity and duty to ‘fight the good fight.’ KAPPA—The tenth Greek letter, stands for Kudos, meaning glory, credit and praise. Accordingly, A.B.K. means recognition and praise for those who have worked valiantly and successfully in one or more fields of the applied arts and sciences. 7 ALPHA BETA KAPPA INDUCTEES For the Fall 2015 Graduating Class Clearwater Ashley Donaldson Marjorie Metcalf Daniele Quinones Brittany Jackson Sherry Murphy Heba Robil Zoradia Kurth Jeanann Parham Noemi Rodriguez Tampa Italia A Avila Chavez Natasha Marion Robert Reboe Jessica Beriware Janares Mayo Maria Restrepo Lizue Cappiello Robles Maria D Montero Shawnta Richards Maldelys Cutino Mailenys Morejon Thailyn Rodriguez Adan Amalexis M Diaz Nicole Mullen Kevin J Rogers Rudena Fernandez Juliet M Narine Antoinette Sanchez Mcfarland Marsheena Green Trina Patel Aldona L Swihart Kristina T LaLonde Urveshkumar Patel Kayla Titus Cynthia G Lee Eskew Miranda Pettermon Regina V Vergara Cory Legg Priscilla G Quinones Esperanza P Volquez Online Josilyn Arellano Jodi Gregoire Jairus Owens Lydia Awanis Tamatha Hanna Heather Packard Tammy Boltz Ingrid Hernandez Chekedria Pettaway Kayla Bridge Tiffany Hernandez Jeanne Phoenix Kristie Conway Danyettia Holt April Rachall Andrew Crosby Kimberly Lucas Lakenya Sharaafat Kellie Edington Phyllis Mandresh Meagan Stanfield Cassandra Eller Melissa Mantz Melissa Stevenson Kenneth Fludd Mary Murray Yornita Swims Polly Glover-Lorenz Karelinda Myles Sandra Zernhelt 8 STUDENT AMBASSADORS For the Fall 2015 Graduating Class Clearwater Brittney Jackson Chasity Myrdahl Jasmine Sturdivant Zoradia Kurth Jeanann Parham Karen Thomas Yvonne Metcalf Daniele Quinones Aqiyla Washington Amanda Moree’ Gabriela Silva Sommer Morris Misty Smith Tampa Runeisha Jackson Militza Delvalle Brande Ford Shae Howard Priscilla Quinones Jesus Salazar Madison Laningham Jessica Osterstuck Kristina Lalonde Amanda Vagianos Cruz Rodriguez Nanci Rojas Angela Prude Cory Legg Heather Bernheisel Capitola Scott Kayla Titus Yvette Loudermilk Minnie Cruz Heather Brown Angela Pierre Irishtine Butler Nydia Cruz Mark Wright Nicole Mullen Marcos Torres III Online Andrew Crosby Rebecca Garza Nandia Powell Melissa Mantz Jodi Gregoire April Rachall Autumn McCoy Ingrid Hernandez Keisha Royster-Harris Berkley Robinson Yvette Herring-Watts Lakenya Sharaafat Rebecca Bethel Victoria Jackson Jason Slaughter
