The Gold Humanism Honor Society honors doctors, medical students and residents who demonstrate excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service, placing high value on the interpersonal skills and attitudes essential for excellent patient care.

The announcement was made by email July 11 by Daniel Van Durme, M.D., faculty advisor and Gold Humanism member.

“The Gold Humanism Honor Society Selection Committee carefully reviewed the nominations from MANY of you,” he wrote. “It was encouraging to see so many of our students recognized by faculty and staff from across all four years of the curriculum AND their classmates. These students rose to the top as true exemplars of humanism by receiving multiple nominations from faculty, staff and peers in categories demonstrating clinical excellence, service to others, patient-centered approach to care and compassion.”
