THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE CREST
                Meaning of the Crest: (The Blazon of the Arms)

The “Dexter Chief” (upper left) on the shield contains the golden book of
knowledge, encircled by a gray “O” and represents the crest of The Ohio State
University with the buckeye leaf superimposed at the base of the “O” and
extending into the scarlet background. The “Sinister Chief” (upper right) contains
six golden stars rising on a diagonal to the emblem of the University. The stars
represent each of the six medical schools that provided a continuity of medical
education in Ohio from 1834 to 1914 and the foundation upon which the College
of Medicine stands.

The deep forest green of the center base is recognized worldwide as the color of
Medicine, just as the staff of Aesculapius with the single entwined serpent is
acknowledged as the insignia of Medicine, taking its origin from Greek mythology.

Impaled in this coat of arms is the heritage of The Ohio State University, signifying
the maternal relationship between it and the College.

The Greek motto translates: “Excellence in Medicine.”

PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR 2022
                            MELISSA M. QUINN, PhD
Each year, The Ohio State University College of Medicine gives its graduating students the
opportunity to nominate a member of the faculty who has significantly impacted their training. The
Professor of the Year Award is the highest teaching award given within the College of Medicine and
marks a career of excellence in medical education.

This year’s Professor of the Year Award recipient is Dr. Melissa Quinn.

Dr. Quinn is a valued member of The Ohio State University College of Medicine family. Beginning
with her education as an Anatomy PhD student at Ohio State, she has had a long-standing focus on
how to adapt teaching methods to individuals. She chose to stay here as an assistant professor
following completion of her graduate studies, and since then has had a deeply positive impact on
students. She served as an Associate Academic Program Director for Part 1 of the
Lead.Serve.Inspire medical curriculum, led anatomy instruction for all medical students, and
continues to serve as advisor to many doctoral, masters, and undergraduate students in anatomy. She
has received numerous awards for her effective teaching, including the “Courage to Teach” award,
the “Excellence in Education” award for Part 1 instruction, The OSU Alumni Association
Distinguished Faculty award, among others, including a highly prestigious Candy Apple Award
from the Class of 2022 during the neurological disorders block. She is active in other areas as well,
including serving as an advisor for both the annual Anatomy Memorial Service and the Be the
Match program and as the director of Outreach & Community Programming for the Department of
Biomedical Education and Anatomy. She is also involved in many committees within the College—
from admissions to academic advancement to the EdTech Incubator committee and the executive
curriculum committee. In addition to her activities at the College, she also holds leadership roles in
the American Association of Clinical Anatomists, the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society, and
the Society of Ultrasound in Medical Education.

Dr. Quinn’s aptitude for education and mentorship shone through in many of the nomination
statements that were submitted from the class. To quote directly from short excerpts, Dr. Quinn “is
always willing to go out of her way to support medical students and has had nothing but a positive
impact on my time at OSUCOM.” “More than a handful of students have been impacted by her
kindness when struggling through the transition from undergraduate to medical school.” “She is a
role model for all aspiring medical educators, and I am forever grateful to her.” “She…is a bright
shining light when medical school gets hard. She pushes her students to be better in all aspects of
their lives, not just anatomy, and celebrates our achievements.” Her continuously positive impact
and support for students over the course of our four years here is reflected repeatedly in these and
many other nomination statements for the award. As an educator and mentor, she strives to ensure
that everyone involved feels important and brings positivity, support, and encouragement to all her
interactions with students.

Personally, she is heavily involved in outreach at local high schools and the Center of Science and
Industry. She enjoys spending her free time with family and friends, attending OSU games and
following Pittsburgh sports teams (except the Pirates), and is a proud mother of three puppies.

Thank you for all that you do for us, Dr. Quinn. On behalf of The Ohio State University College of
Medicine Class of 2022, we are honored to present Dr. Melissa Quinn with the 2022 Professor of
the Year Award.

THE ACADEMIC HOOD

The first mention of a distinct academic garment was found in the English ecclesiastical records
of 1222 and associated with the Doctors of Sacred Theology at Oxford. In succeeding years
reference is made to Doctors of “Physick” and Doctors of Civil Law wearing robes similar to
those of the Doctors of Sacred Theology and Canon Law, but they had a distinctive headdress
called the “pallium” to take the place of the “cappa clausa” of the latter. The first English
statute concerning academic dress of the faculties of Law and Physick is dated 1226.

Different “colors” for members of the various faculties are thought to have been introduced
between 1458 and 1575, although it is recorded that scarlet robes for Doctors of Theology were
first introduced at the University of Paris between 1334 and 1343.

It was only natural that the colleges and universities of the English colonies in America should
continue the academic garb customs of Cambridge and Oxford, along with the codes and
regulations as to their use.

In 1893, an American Intercollegiate Commission established the rules and regulations for the
academic wearing of gowns, hoods, caps, and berets. Then, in 1902, the Regents of the
University of the State of New York chartered the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume
in Albany, New York, to maintain the registry of the more than 700 institutions using the
intercollegiate system. This includes the colors, designs, materials, and combinations for
academic attire for U.S. colleges and universities as well as those of foreign nations.

The hood, which you may wear with your academic robe, incorporates the color green for the
faculty of medicine and scarlet and gray for your alma mater. It distinguishes you as a “Doctor
of Medicine,” a member of one of the oldest faculties in the academic society of scholars.
Preserve with dignity the honor, trust, and responsibility, which are now yours.

CLASS OF 2022 OATH

Today, the class of 2022 joins the physicians who came before us. We vow to uphold
and honor this oath:

I will administer care that is respectful of patient preferences, values, and needs. Not
only will I work to prevent and treat disease, but I will also care for each patient as a
unique individual - mind, body, and soul. I will remember that when patients are at
their most vulnerable, they selected me to care for them. I will not forget the honor
this carries, as I will be entrusted with human life. I will foster an environment that
cultivates quality, safety, and collaboration.

I promise to dismantle barriers that impede equitable care and will challenge
substandard treatments that stem from an individual’s race, ethnicity, religion, gender
identity, sexual orientation, disability or economic status. I will strive to understand
and consider the repercussions my actions have outside the walls of my practice,
knowing that the health of the community is as important as the health of my patients.

I will be an advocate for my patients. I swear to practice principles that support
accessible and just medicine. I will use my moral compass to adapt and navigate our
world’s ever-changing landscape.

I vow to practice with compassion for others, and compassion for myself. I will
search within my heart for strength and courage, to be a catalyst for change and a
beacon of hope.

I will work to emerge as a leader in my practice for my patients and my community.
When I feel lost and afraid, I will call upon those who have come before me. I will
also help all those who turn to me when they are lost and afraid. I will share with
others what I know, to continue to grow the medical profession and make it better
than it was yesterday.

Lastly, I will remain a humble lifelong learner and servant. I recognize the path we
are on has been paved by others' hard work. I will bask in the gratitude and joy that is
the gift of what it means to be a physician and to share in the gift of caring for human
life. When I am at my deepest valley or highest peak, I will remember that this is my
calling.
OATH OF HIPPOCRATES
I do solemnly swear
By whatever I hold most sacred,
That I will be loyal to the profession of medicine
And just and generous to its members.

That I will lead my life
And practice my art
In uprightness and honor.

That into whatsoever home I shall enter,
It shall be for the good of the sick and the well to the utmost of my power
And that I will hold myself aloof from wrong
And from corruption and from the tempting of others to vice.

That I will exercise my art
Solely for the cure of my patients and the prevention of disease,
And will give no drug nor perform any operation for a criminal purpose
And far less suggest such thing.

That whatsoever I shall see or hear of the lives of my patients
Which is not fitting to be spoken abroad,
I shall keep inviolably secret.

These things I do promise
And in proportion as I am faithful to this oath,
May happiness and good repute be ever mine.
The opposite if I shall be foresworn.

                         CARMEN OHIO
                Oh! Come let’s sing Ohio’s praise,
                 And songs to Alma Mater raise;
               While our hearts rebounding thrill,
               With joy which death alone can still.
                 Summer’s heat or Winter’s cold,
               The seasons pass, the years will roll;
                Time and change will surely show
                 How firm thy friendship–O-hi-o.
