Dear Class of 2007,
I take great pleasure in informing you of your appointment to the fixst-year medical class at the
Tulane University School of Medicine, to enter in August of, 2003. 1 sincerely hope that you will
accept our invitation to take your medical training at Tulane and look forward to having youjoin us.
In order to reserve your place in the class, we must receive, within the next two weeks, written
notification of your intent to accept our invitation. At anytime between now and May 15, 2003, we
must receive a check, payable to the Tulane Educational Fund, in the amount of $500; this deposit
will be credited against your first tuition billing. Please understand this deposit is non-refundable and
should indicate your final decision to attend Tulane University School of Medicine. We ask that
should you decide not to attend Tulane, you inform us in writing so that we can maintain an accurate
accounting of our class.
I am sure you will understand that your appointment is contingent upon successful completion ofthe
academic program in which you are currently enrolled, and maintenance of the level of academic
performance that was part of the basis for your acceptance. A final transcript ofyour grades must be
forwarded to this office as soon as your school year ends.
You will be receiving additional information concerning summer programs, combined-degree
programs, and other topics of interest as the year progresses. I and others at the medical school will
try to keep you well informed of all important or interesting topics.
On behalf of the students, faculty, and administration at Tulane, I bid you a most enthusiastic
welcome. If I can be of service to you in any way, please feel free to call upon me.
Sincerely yours.

THE OATH OF
HIPPOCRATE
I swear by Apollo, the physician^ and Aesculapius, and Health and
All-Heal, and by God and by whatever I hold most sacred? that, ac-cording
to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this
stipulation—I will look upon those who shall have taught me this
Art even as one ofmy parents. I will share my substance with them,
and I will supply their necessities if they be in need. I will regard their
offspring in the same footing as my own brethren, and I will teach
them this Art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or covenant.
I will impart a knowleidge of the Art by precept, by lecture and by
every mode of teaching not only to my own children but to the chil-dren
of those who have taught me, and to disciples bound by cove-nant
and oath, according to the Law of Medicine, but to none other.
The regimen I adopt shall be for the benefit of my patients ac-cording
to my ability and Judgment and I will abstain from what-ever
is deleterious and mischievous. I will seek to inform my
patients fully about their illness and prognosis, and will always
remember that the final decision regarding their own life rests
with the patient. I will regard my patients always as fellow hu-man
beings and will do everything possible to preserve their dig-nity.
With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and prac-tice
my Art. Whatsoever things I see or hear concerning the life
of men in my attendance, on the sick or even apart therefrom,
which ought not to be noised abroad, I will keep silence thereon,
counting such things to be sacred secrets. While I continue to
keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life
and the practice of the Art, respected by all men, in all times. But
should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot.

New Orleans...there's no place I would've rather done it!
Jay- What can I say brother... 4 years of friendship much appreciated. Congratulations on AOA, UMD-urology (keep your eye on
the...), and meeting your lovely wife. You did well during these four years! Never forget though, no matter what, I'll always be taller (I
don't care what your driver's license says), younger (by a year), and while we're at it more handsome. You owe me $50 for Bonds...I'll
take It out of the wedding gift. I will see you and Eva soon. Megalo- You'll always be very special to me. I wish you the best in all
your pursuits and know you will find happiness. ..Your kind-heartedness (which is only rivaled by your lack of knowledge of the world-
What language do we speak in India? In fact, where is India?) assures you of it. Also, you're a hippie, I think you look good in earrings,
and it's about time you bought a big purse. I love you very much. Kev- Who's the biggest guy in the med school? Pound for pound you
know the truth, I missed you third year, but I guess if you were around all we would've done is drink protein shakes, eat Roly Poly, and
talk about your girl troubles. Thanks for everything man. AY, AY- I'm glad we were able to spend these last four years building on
what has to my delight turned into a lifelong friendship. I'm sorry about the Chinese food, but I wonder ''are you not entertained?" Oh
and "guys if I wasn't, like, her sister I would totally..." Ap- Lab partners to great friends. It's like destiny. Houston was the best,
once you got rid of that ball and chain. Who else can I daydream about being filthy rich with while lying in the sun, poolside. "So away
from my window..." And don't worry, I was only joking when I said getting dogs cuts your dating pool in half. See you somewhere in the
sun. My girls+l...I couldn't have asked for better roommates. Jess- I think you are one of the sweetest and kindest souls I have ever
met, who can also cook with the best of them. Please try to hold your vodka down and keep the dogs in the front of the house like you
promised! Nate- You're not in school with us, but how can I leave you out. You want to walk up the off ramp to meet Jess in the
middle of the highway? I don't get it, smoke dawg. I know that you and Jess are going to be great together and I look forward to
visiting you guys over the years. Kothryn- "I don't know what it is, but I want it." I love listening to you speak. I'm so glad that you
came back to us. Cool to chill out with, cool to go out with, and cool to spend New Year's with. You've got it all. Morco- We had great
times V year, .then you got married, had a kid, moved to Metairie all in the blink of an eye and I never sow you again. Just joking, I
look forward to always keeping in touch and I wish yourself, Barrie, and Riley (the cutest kid I know) all the happiness in the world.
You'll be good in whatever you chose to do. And Bam'e- Thanks for your friendship. You'll always be a southern belle with social
standing in my eyes. Art- It was good to know you buddy. Wake boarding, Centreville, making you cry on the golf course, tennis court,
and racket-ball court. I enjoyed it all. If anybody did medical school the right way, it was you. FPlttS- One of my favorite memories
remains playing pool, eating a cheeseburger, and having a beer at Igor's. You're a great person, which is maybe why you're so terrible at
talking trash. I'm always there for you. Sopi...come on be honest-who talks more? I wish you guys the best of luck together. MJ-Who's
got a chip on their shoulder? Thanks for taking care of me when I was sick 1^^ year and for everything since! It's too bad you
moved to the AAarigny...You like my jokes, come on! Roddy- I'll never bet with you again, but I love you never the less. My mom is still
worried that you're going into pediatrics. I know you'll do great though. So Hoyas! Nicole- Your charm is in your cynicism. ..but don't
forget that you're destiny is a happy one. Thanks for picking me up on St. Charles at 6am. Zeena- You're not high maintenance. I
loved all the time we spent together V^ year and you get a standing happy birthday from me on Feb 23'"'^ of every year.
Lauren/Liat/Seeta- I only lump you guys together b/c you're such good friends, yet I had separate friendships with each of you
and appreciated each one of them. Thanks. Pinner- Hey man, you made my third year of medical school easy. Lab A2
Craig, Amy, Aimee,Ap,RJ- Let's just start by asking which lab group was the best in our class? You guys were the beginning of a
great experience. Others, all of whom I thank for your f riendship-AB,AH,AS,BB,BM,BN,BY,CBx2,CD,CJ,DB,D&,CiM,FaD0,DW,HU,IG,
JBx4,JC,JD,JF,JG,JWx2,DrJW,KJ,KK,LM,LP,MD,MA,MC,ML,NG,NM,NN,NP,OB,RB,RK,RR,SB,SC,SK,SL,SM,SY,SW,TB,TG,TI,TR,WP.

Seize the moment before its gone Ifor another day begins at dawn. I Embrace the )iight winch brings you rest I awake and know
you did your best. /Fight each fight and run each race-it matters not ifyou win or place. I Seize the moment you'll be blest
I then rest assured you passed the test, Ifor he who tries can never fail I when God directs the ship lue sail. I Seize the moment
and hold it dear / and rise by faith above yourfear
Dearest Beckv,
I'm 50 very proud of you and all you've accomplished! I'd be
remiss if 1 didn't take credit for a little moral support here
and there, but you're the one who did the studying, endured
ail the crappy residences and spent endless nights on call. The
time I've spent with you has been the best three years of my
life. 1 can't wait to start the rest of our life, finally and really.
together, forever.

As an adjunct to diet
CRESTOR is indicated as an adjunct to diet to reduce elevated levels of total-C,
LDL-C, ApoB, non-HDL-C, and TG, and to Increase HDL-C in patients with
primary hypercholesterolennia (heterozygous familial and nonfamilial) and
mixed dyslipidemia
CRESTOR is contraindicated In patients with a known hypersensitivity to
any component of this product, in patients with active liver disease or
with unexplained persistent elevations of serum transaminases, In
women who are or may become pregnant, and in nursing mothers
It is recommended that liver function tests be performed before and at
12 weeks following both the initiation of therapy and any elevation of dose,
and periodically (eg, semiannually) thereafter. Should an Increase in ALT or
AST of >3 times ULN persist, reduction of dose or withdrawal of CRESTOR
Is recommended
The effect of CRESTOR on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not
been determined; long-term outcome studies are currently underway
Please see Brief Summary of full Prescribing Information
on reverse side of this advertisement.
Please visit our Web site at www.crestor.com
• Rare cases of rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure secondary to
myoglobinuria have been reported with CRESTOR and with other drugs In
this class. Patients should be advised to promptly report unexplained
muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, particularly if accompanied by
malaise or fever. Therapy with CRESTOR should be discontinued If markedly
elevated CK levels occur or myopathy Is diagnosed or suspected
• CRESTOR 40 mg is reserved only for those patients not achieving LDL-C
goal at 20 mg. Patients initiating statin therapy or switching from another
statin should begin treatment with CRESTOR at the appropriate
starting dose
• Adverse reactions were usually mild and transient; the most frequent
adverse events thought to be related to CRESTOR were myalgia (3.3%),
constipation (1.4%), asthenia (1.3%), abdominal pain (1.3%), and
nausea (1.3%)'^

of patienis ft-ith elevated serum TG levels (Fredrickson Type IV): 3. to reduce LDL-C, lotal-C,
and ApoB jn patienis vviih tiomozygous lamilial hypercholesterolemia as an adjunct lo olher
lipid-lowering treatments (e.g., LDL aphersis} or if such treatments are unavailable
CONniAINDICAnONS CRESTOR is contraindicated m palients witfi a known hyper-sensitivity
to any component ot this product Rosuvastatin is contraindicated in palients
with active liver disease or with unexplained persistent elevallons of serum transaminases
(see WARNINGS. Lver Enzymes). Pregnancy and Lactation Alherosclerosis is a
dironic process and discontinuation ol iipid-lowenng dnigs during pregnancy should have
Bttle impact on Ihe outcome ol long-term therapy of primary hypercholesterolemia
Cholesterol and other producls of cholesterol biosynthesis are essenlial components for
fetal development (including synthesis ol sleroids and cell membranes). Since HMG-CoA
raiuclase inhibitors decrease choleslerol synthesis and possibly the synthesis ot other
biologically active substances derived from cholesterol, they may cause fetal harm when
^ministered lo pregnant women. Tfieretore, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors are coniramdi-cared
during pregnancy and in nursing mothers. ROSUVASTATIN SHOULD BE ADMINIS-TERED
TO WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE ONLY WHEN SUCH PATIENTS ARE HIGHLY
UNLIKaVTO CONCEIVE AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS, Itihe
palKnt becomes pregnant while taking Ihis drug, therapy should be discontmued immedi-ately
and Ihe patient appnsed oi the potential hazard to the lelus WARNINGS liver
Enzymes HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, like some other lipid-lowering therapies, have
been associated with biochemical abnormalities of liver function The incidence qI persis-tent
elevations (>3 times Ihe upper limit ( normal [ULN] occurring on 2 or more consec-utive
occasions) in serum Iransaminases in lined dose studies was i. 0. 0, and 0.1 % in
patients wbo received rosuvastatin 5, 10, 20, and 40 mg, respecliveiy. In most cases, Ihe
elevations were transient and resolved or improved on continued therapy or after a brief
interruption in therapy Tiiere were two cases of jaundice, for which a relationship to rosuva-sHIin
Iherapy could not be determined, which resolved after discontinuation ol therapy
There were m cases ol \m lailure or irreversible liver disease in these tnals. H is recom-mended
hat liver function tests be performed before and at 12 weeks tollowing bo^ (tie
mitiab'on of therapy and any elevation ol dose, and periodically (e.g.. semiannually)
thereafter. Lr/er enryme changes generally occur in the first 3 monlhs ol treatment with
rasu'i'astatin Patients who develop increased transaminase levels should be monitored until
Ihe abnormalities have resolved. Should an increase m ALT or AST of >3 times ULN persist,
reduction of dose or wiina'av.-al ol rosuvastalm is recommended Rosuvaslatin should be
used w:th caution m pa'ienls who consume subslaniial quantilies of alcohol and/or have a
history of liver disease {see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Special Populaiions, Hepatic
Insufficiency). Active liver disease or unexplained persistent transaminase elevations are
contraindications to the use of rosirvastatin (see CONTRAINDICATIONS) Myopothy/
RKabdomyolysis Rare cases ol rhabdomyolysis ivrth acute renal lailure secondary
to myoglobinuria have been reported nilh rosuvaslatin and with other drugs in this
class. Uncomp;:caieo myaigia has been reported m rosuvaslalin-lreaied patienis [see
ADVERSE REACTIONS). Creatine kinase (CK) elevations (>10times upper limit of normal)
occurred in 02% to Q,4% of patients taking rosuvastatin at doses up to 40 mg in clinical
studies. Treatment-related myopathy, defined as muscle aches or muscle weakness in
conjunclion vrth increases in CK values >10 times upper limit of normal, v/as reported m
up lo 0-1% ol patients taking rosuvastatin doses ol up lo 40 mg in clinical studies. In clin-ical
triafe, Ihe incidence ol myopathy and rliabdomyotysis increased at doses ol rosuva-statin
above ^e recommended dosage range (5 lo 40 mg). In postmar1(eting experience,
effects on skeletal muscle, e.g. uncomplicated myalgia, myopathy and, rarely, rhabdomy-olysis
have been reported m patients trealed wilh HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors including
rosuvastatin As wilh olher HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, reports ol rhabdomyolysis wfih
rosiwastatin are rare, but higher at Ihe highest marketed dose (40 mg). Faclors that may
predispose patients lo myopatliy with HMG-CoA reductase inhibilors include advanced age
{>K years), hypolfiyroidism, and renal insufficiency. Conseouently: t. Rosuvastatin
should be prescribed with cautran in patients wilh predisposing factors for myopathy, such
as. renal impairment (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION), advanced age, and inade-qualely

Warfarin: Coadministration of rosuvastatin to palients on stable warfarin
therapy resulted in clinically significant rises in INR (>4, baseline 2-3). In patients taking
coumarin arlicoagulants and rosuvaslatin concomitantly, INR should be determined before
starting rosuvastatin and Ireguently enough during eariy Iherapy to ensure thai no signili-cant
alteralion of INR occurs. Once a stable INR time has been documented, INR can be
monrtored at the intervals usually recommended lor patienis on coumarin anticoagulants. II
Ihe dose of rosuvaslatin is changed, the same procedure should be repeated. Rosuvaslatin
Iherapy has not been associated with bleeding or with changes in INR in patients not laking
anticoagulants. Gemfibmzil: Coadministration of a single rosuvastatin dose to heahhy
volunteers on gemlibrozil (600 mg twice daily) resulted m a 2.2- and 1 .9-lold, respecliveiy,
increase in mean Cmax and mean AUC ol rosuvastatin [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRA-TION).
Endocrine Function Although clinical studies have shown that rosuvastatin
alone does not reduce basal plasma Cortisol concentration or impair adrenal reserve,
caution should be exercised if any HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or other agent used to
lower choleslerol levels is administered concomilanlly v/ith drugs thai may decrease the
levels or activity of endogenous steroid hormones such as keloconazole, spironolactone,
and cimelidine. CNS Toxicily CNS vascular lesions, characterized by perivascular
hemorrhages, edema, and mononuclear cell infiltration of perivascular spaces, have been
observed in dogs treated with several other members of this drug class A chemically
similar drug in this class produced dose-dependent optic nerve degeneration (Wallenan
degeneration of relinogeniculate libers) in dogs, at a dose that produced plasma drug levels
about 30 times higher Ihan the mean drug level in humans taking Ihe highest recommended
dose. Edema, hemorrhage, and partial necrosis in the inlerslitium of Itie choroid plexus was
observed in a female dog sacrificed moribund at day 2'1 al 90 mg/kg/day by oral gavage

Pregnancy Pregnancy CalsgoryXSee CONTRAINDICATIONS. Rosuvaslatin may cause
felal harm when adminislered lo a pregnant woman. Rosuvastalm is conlraindicaled in
women wtio are or may become pregnant. Safety in pregnant women has not been eslab-lished.
There are no adequate and v/eil-controlled studies of rosuvastatin in pregnant
women. Rosuvastatin crosses the placenta and is found in fetal tissue and amniotic lluid at
3% and 20%, respectively, ol Ihe maternal plasma concentration lollowmg a single

dose of 1 mgAg on gestation day !8. If this drug is adminislered to a woman wilh repro-ductive
potential, the palient should be apprised of the polemial hazard lo a fetus. In female
rats given oral gavage doses of 5. 15. 50 mg/kg/day rosuvastatin before mating and contin-uing
through day 7 postcoilus results in decreased fetal body weight (female pups) and
delayed ossilicalion al the high dose (syslemic exposures 10 times human exposure at

very rare cases of laundice. OVERDOSAGE There is no specilic Ireatment in the
event of overdose. In the event ol overdose, the patient should be heated symplomaticaliy
and supportive measures inslituted as required Hemodialysis does nol signilicanlly
enhance clearance ol rosuvastalm. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The patiem
should be placed on a standard cholesterol-lowering diet belore receiving CRESTOR
and should continue on Ihis diet during treatment, CRESTOR can be adminislered as
a single dose at any lime of day. wilh of without food. Hypercholesterolemia
(Heterozygous Familial and Nonfomilial) and Mixed Dyslipidemto
[Fredrickson Type lla and lib) The dose range tor CRESTOR is 5 to 40 mg once
daily. Therapy with CRESTOR should be individualized according to goal ol therapy and
response. The usual recommended starting dose ol CRESTOR is 10 mg once daily.
However, inilialion of therapy with 5 mg once daily should he considered (or patients
requiring less aggressive LDL-C reductions, who have predisposing laclors lor myopathy,
and as noled below lor special populations such as patienis laking cyclosporine, Asian
palients, and patienis wilh severe renal msulliciency (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY,
Race, and Renal Insufficiency, and Drug Inferactions. For patienis with marked hypercho-lesterolemia
(LDL-C > 1 90 nig/dl) and aggressive lipid targets, a 20-mg starting dose may
be considered. After initiation and/or upon titration of CRESTOR, lipid levels should be
analysed wilhin 2 to 4 weeks and dosage adjusted accordingly The 40-mg dose ol
CRESTOR is reserved only lor those patients who have nol achieved their LDL-C goal
utilizing the 20 mg doss ol CRESTOR once daily (see WARNINGS, Myopathy/

LEADING THE QUEST FOR HEALTH.
More than 100 years ago, Cedars-Sinai was a small
hospital whose goal was to provide the finest quality
care to the Los Angeles community.
Today our reputation for excellence extends around
the globe. Our commitment to medical research and
innovation, combined with our passion for patient
care, has made us one of the most dynamic and
highly renowned medical centers in the world.
Medical education has been a core mission of
Cedars-Sinai since its inception. Our residency and
fellowship programs enable physicians to develop
their clinical expertise as well as participate in a wide
range of research activities.
At Cedars-Sinai, there are more than 600 research
projects underway, and we're making new discoveries
and putting them into practice every day.
Our goal is to stay at the forefront of medical
advancement. Only in this way can we maintain the
gold standard of excellence in healthcare for another
century to come.

We all dream ofdoing big things.
Solving importantproblems.
Making a difference. Improving lives.
Transforming these dreams
into reality requires ambition,
creativity, and a company like ours to
help put all the elements together.
We Innovate Healthcare
From Research
to Real Life
Roche is a leader in preventing, diagnosing and treating
disease, enhancing the quality of life for everyone.
We invest almost $5 billion a year in innovative research,
and our capabilities combine traditional biomedical
science with the latest advances in biotechnology,
genetics and genomics. Our investment in research has
led to the introductions of important new medicines for
osteoporosis and flu. And our current pipeline includes
potential advances for treating cancer, diabetes, arthritis
and hepatitis C.
Few companies possess the global strength in both
diagnostics and therapeutics that Roche enjoys.
By forging closer linl<s between diagnosis and
treatment, we're leading the way to a new dimension
in healthcare-individualized medicine. This approach
identifies the best treatment for a specific
individual.
And since we understand that every
individual is unique, we strive to ensure
a diverse workplace. Roche encourages
creativity and embraces differences in talent,
education, work style, lifestyle and culture.
Arthritis, cancer, diabetes, hepatitis, HIV/
AIDS, influenza, nervous system disorders
and osteoporosis - just some of the real life
issues Roche is focusing on and providing
solutions for.
