Chairman’s
Letter
Dear All,
UCLA Health has long been a model for innovation and quality of care. It
is no wonder that we consistently graduate exceptionally talented students,
residents, and fellows as we endeavor to train and mentor the next generation of
physicians and medical physicists through our residency programs.
In this issue of the UCLA Radiation Oncology Journal, we introduce our
incoming class of brilliant Radiation Oncology and Medical Physics residents, as
well as two talented medical students in our Medical Student Preceptorship.
Winston Churchill wisely shared an aspect of one’s career journey that is often
overlooked in the impatience of youth. He said, "The definition of success is
going from failure to failure without significant loss of enthusiasm.”
I agree with Churchill’s sentiment, and I know our incoming class of trainees
will take it to heart as they understand that from time to time the process of
learning and discovery involves failure, little and not so little. It is through those
failures that breakthroughs will come and they will come to know that it is the
work that sustains you.
Be well and stay safe,
Michael Steinberg, M.D.
