Gold Humanism Honor Society

Abstract

The following pages contain individual essays written by students of the Gold Humanism Honor Society, a national honor society that aims to highlight compassionate patient care and humanism within the field of medicine. Many students showcase narratives that highlight interactions with patients that taught them not only how to manage disease medically, but also important lessons about the human condition - how to treat all those who seek our help with empathy and understanding. We hope that the examples that follow inspire all those who read it to provide holistic care to all our patients.
