Ten medical students from the Doctor of Medicine Class of 2018 at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences were inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society on June 19 at the induction ceremony in Grand Forks.

Committed to fostering a culture of professionalism and humanism, the school’s Gold Humanism Honor Society chapter provides a formal mechanism to highlight and recognize, as a group, those students who exhibit high levels of humanistic qualities in their day-to-day lives. These qualities include integrity; sound moral reasoning; compassion and empathy toward patients; effective communication skills; the ability to engender trust and confidence among patients, staff, and colleagues; and a deep commitment to humanitarian services.
The Gold Humanism Honor Society is funded by a grant from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation.
