The IUSM chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society was established during the 2005-2006 academic year as a means of formally recognizing medical students who demonstrate exemplary behavior that promotes humanism in medicine. Creation of this GHHS chapter was made possible by a grant from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation. By encouraging the creation of chapters in medical schools around the country, the Gold Foundation seeks to honor senior medical students, residents, role-model physician teachers and other exemplars who demonstrate excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service.
Approximately 10 percent of the graduating class was selected through a process including peer and faculty nomination followed by a review of each student’s required essays, clerkship comments, and record of community service.
