Gold Humanism Honor Society

The GHHS is dedicated to foster, recognize, and support the values of humanism and professionalism in medicine.  The Society commits itself to work within and beyond medical education to inspire, nurture, and sustain lifelong advocates for compassionate patient care.  Establishing the UT College of Medicine GHHS Chapter was made possible by an initial grant from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation and through the leadership of Dr. Mukta Panda.
