On the right is Hygeia,&nbsp;the Greek goddess of health. And on the left,&nbsp;Minerva, the Roman goddess of science and art.&nbsp;</p> <p>Then we have the College motto. At the top,&nbsp;"Conjurat Amice", which translates to "together&nbsp;in friendship". This represents the&nbsp;physicians and surgeons working together.&nbsp;&nbsp;At the bottom, "Non vivere sed valere vita",&nbsp;&nbsp;which loosely translates to "not just to&nbsp;live life but to have a healthy life".</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K5i4U90lphY" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
