The Gold Humanism Honor Society has approved a chapter at the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU.
The recent notification of approval of the chapter allows the Burnett School of Medicine to begin forming the chapter and selecting the first and second group of students to be recognized as Gold Humanism members.
The Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) recognizes individuals who excel at humanistic patient care and who can serve as role models, mentors and leaders in medicine. The GHHS is a community of medical students, physicians and other leaders who have been recognized for their compassionate care and reinforces and supports the human connection in health care.
Chapter advisors will be Ric Bonnell, M.D., assistant professor and Director of Service Learning and Community Engagement, and David Capper, M.D., professor and Chair of Clinical Sciences.
Once established, students in Spring of their third year will be asked to complete the Peer Nomination Survey, with an induction ceremony in late Spring.
Survey results will produce a list of candidates who will be reviewed by a Selection Committee and asked to submit an essay. The Selection Committee will be comprised of deans, faculty, clerkship directors and students recognized in the Servant Leadership Awards (past) and (future) previously inducted GHHS members.
The total number of GHHS members can be no more than 10-15% of the medical school class.
After a few years of the GHHS chapter, it will be expanded to induct up to four faculty members per year.
