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 2010
David P. Bahner, MD, RDMS
Since 1931, the senior class of the College of Medicine has awarded a single faculty member
the Professor of the Year award. As the highest honor a faculty member can earn from the
graduating class, this award is presented to a professor who exhibits an outstanding
commitment to medical education through excellent mentorship, enthusiasm for teaching, and
dedication to patient care. Today, the Class of 2010 is proud to present David P. Bahner, MD,
RDMS, Associate Professor and Ultrasound Director in the Department of Emergency
Medicine, with the 2010 Professor of the Year Award.
Dr. Bahner grew up in Kettering, Ohio, but left the Buckeye state to pursue an undergraduate
degree in biological sciences at Clemson University. After graduating in 1991, he returned to
Ohio to attend medical school at the University of Cincinnati, where he finished among the top
of his class in 1995. He then went on to residency training in emergency medicine at The Ohio
State University.
Since joining OSU as a full-time faculty member in 1998, Dr. Bahner has excelled as a
clinician, teacher, and mentor. He is the recipient of multiple awards from medical students,
colleagues, and house staff. His accolades include the Woody Hayes Leadership Award (2003),
the Excellence in Teaching Award (2005), the Landacre Medical Student Research Society
Faculty Award (2005), and the Distinguished Educator Award (2009). Last year, the Class of
2009 honored Dr. Bahner with the Med IV Outstanding Clinical Teacher Award.
Dr. Bahner earned his RDMS degree from the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical
Sonographers in 2000. Since then, he has devoted much of his time to instructing students,
residents, and faculty from various departments on the utility of bedside ultrasound. He is wellknown to our class as an outstanding leader in ultrasound education through his tireless efforts
to provide students with opportunities to participate in structured mentorships. In 2005, he
pioneered the Ultrasound Academy and the Honors Ultrasound Program for second- and fourthyear medical students. He also helped to develop the ultrasound portion of the Clinical Skills
Immersion Experience, a one-week hands-on course for third-year medical students.
Dr. Bahner’s leadership and achievements extend well beyond OSU. He is active in the
American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and is the first emergency physician to sit on its
Board of Governors. He is also involved in the American College of Emergency Physicians’
Ultrasound section and is a member of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine Editorial
Advisory Board. He has authored numerous research publications and abstracts on ultrasound
education and emergency care, which have been presented both nationally and internationally.
Outside of his dedication to patients and students, Dr. Bahner is an avid athlete. He plays tennis,
golf, and Frisbee. He has also participated in intramural basketball with medical students.
Our class recognizes Dr. Bahner as a devoted and enthusiastic teacher, one who consistently
encourages students to take an active role in leadership. His tremendous passion for teaching is
demonstrated by the countless hours he spends instructing students in his areas of expertise, as
well as his initiatives to integrate ultrasound into our medical curriculum. Dr. Bahner is a
wonderful role model for physicians-in-training, and is truly an asset to his patients, his
colleagues, and to us, the graduating class of 2010.
On behalf of the Class of 2010, I am honored to present David P. Bahner, MD, RDMS, with the
Professor of the Year Award.
Julia Li-Ming Fu
Class of 2010 President
The Mary Beth Fontana, MD—Gary Wise, MD Endowment was established in July 2005
by Dr. Mary Beth Fontana to provide an annual award to the faculty member selected as the
Professor of the Year by the graduating medical student class.
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.

HISTORY OF THE PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR AWARD
The Professor of the Year Award has been awarded each year since 1931 by the graduating
class of The Ohio State University College of Medicine to a faculty member who has
demonstrated excellence and commitment to teaching and in mentoring and serving as a role
model to the class. This once-in-a-lifetime award is the highest honor that a faculty member can
earn from the graduating class. Portraits of all the past winners are displayed in the west lobby
of Meiling Hall.
The Mary Beth Fontana, MD–Gary Wise, MD Endowment was established in 2005 by
Dr. Mary Beth Fontana to provide a stipend to the faculty member selected as
the Professor of the Year by the graduating medical student class.

CLASS OATH 2010
I swear by the things that are sacred to me, before my family, my friends, my colleagues, my
mentors, and my patients, that I will keep the following Oath:
I will use my knowledge and training to treat my patients to the best of my ability, with
compassion and kindness and humility. I will educate my patients to make the health care
decisions that are best for them and, in prescribing treatment, I will respect the cultural and
personal beliefs of those entrusted to my care, even when they differ from my own.
I will be an advocate for the ill and the weak and will strive to balance my responsibilities to
individual patients and to the greater society in promoting the health and well-being of all.
Above all, I will do no harm.
I will work to be worthy of the trust my patients place in me. I will never forget my duty to act
in their best interests and will not exploit that trust.
I will respect the contributions of other professions and treat all members of the health care
team with dignity.
I will understand my own limitations and will work continuously to improve my own medical
knowledge and skills, recognizing my commitment to medicine as a commitment to a lifetime
of learning.
I will honor the dedication, the wisdom, and the passion of those who have taught me by
teaching others the art of medicine with the spirit of curiosity and collaboration that the best of
my teachers have shown.
I will treat myself with the same compassion I have for my patients, and will be grateful for the
support and encouragement of family and friends, recognizing that to heal others, I must be
whole and healthy.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I lead a fulfilling life and enjoy the privilege of practicing
medicine.
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 men
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.
