Seventeen selected to FSU Chapman Chapter of GHHS

Seventeen members of the M.D. Class of 2023 are the newest members of the FSU Chapman Chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society.

The Arnold P. Gold Foundation of Humanism in Medicine defines humanism as the link between compassion and scientific competence. Humanism in medicine fosters relationships with patients and caregivers that are compassionate and empathetic. It describes attitudes and behaviors that are sensitive to the values, autonomy, cultural and ethics backgrounds of others.

The students selected for the Class of 2023 are listed below, and include their regional campuses:

•    Emily Abernethy (Fort Pierce)
•    Daniel Alban (Daytona Beach)
•    Shivani Arza (Sarasota)
•    Tim Carter (Tallahassee)
•    Sarah Crawford (Pensacola)
•    Ghazal Farajzadeh (Fort Pierce)
•    Elora Friar (Sarasota)
•    Tim Gemesi (Sarasota)
•    Marcus Lackey (Pensacola)
•    Caitlin Marquis (Fort Pierce)
•    Blake Meyer (Sarasota)
•    Kendall Philipson (Fort Pierce)
•    Roxana Preis (Daytona Beach)
•    Ray Sadeq (Daytona Beach)
•    Gabriella Sehres (Daytona Beach)
•    Jennifer Trebilcock (Fort Pierce)
•    Gabrielle Yap Sam (Daytona Beach)

In addition, Richard Wu, who was previously selected, now joins the GHHS Class of 2023.

“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,” FSU Chapman Chapter faculty advisors Suzanne Leonard Harrison, Casey Rust and Daniel Van Durme wrote in an email announcing the winners.

“These students rose to the top as the true exemplars of humanism by receiving multiple nominations from faculty, staff and peers in every category, demonstrating clinical excellence, service to others, and a patient-centered approach to care and compassion.”

The Arnold P. Gold Foundation for Humanism in Medicine defines the humanistic doctor as one who demonstrate the following attributes (I.E., C.A.R.E.S.)
•    Integrity: the congruence between expressed values and behavior.
•    Excellence: clinical expertise.
•    Compassion: the awareness and acknowledgement of the suffering of another and the desire to relieve it.
•    Altruism: the capacity to put the needs and interest of another before your own.
•    Respect: the regard for the autonomy and values of another person.
•    Empathy: the ability to put oneself in another’s situation, e.g., physician as patient.
•    Service: the sharing of one’s talent, time and resources with those in need, giving beyond what is required.

The group will be formally inducted at the M.D. Class of 2026 White Coat Ceremony on Aug. 5.

PRESS RELEASE

The American Academy of Pediatrics has updated its guidance on breastfeeding – extending the recommended time for parents to breastfeed their children, while calling for policy change and "nonjudgmental support" for all families' feeding choices.

"We know that any breastfeeding is better than none... and the longer the total duration of breastfeeding the better," Dr. Joan Younger Meek, lead author of the AAP reports and a professor emeritus in clinical sciences at the Florida State University College of Medicine, told USA TODAY, pointing to breastfeeding health benefits for both babies and their parents.

PRESS RELEASE

The American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement Monday that extends the period of time for which breastfeeding is recommended to two years or more, but that also acknowledges the obstacles that stand in parents’ way.

“We need societal changes that will help to support this, such as paid leave, more support for breastfeeding in public and child care facilities and workplace support,” said Dr. Joan Meek, a professor emeritus in the department of clinical sciences at the Florida State University College of Medicine and lead author of the new recommendations.
