The University of Toledo College of Medicine Gold Humanism Honor Society
The local UTCOM chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) was established in 2005 to help promote qualities
of altruism, compassion and service amongst medical students, residents and attending
physicians in the Toledo medical community. The society is composed of members from
each third year medical school class, elected by vote from amongst their peers in
recognition of their selfless attitude towards patients and colleagues.
The goal of the society is to improve the awareness of humanistic, caring medical care within our community and give positive reinforcement to those who embody this spirit. Activities of the society include taking part in the National GHHS Solidarity Day (which resulted in our chapter giving Valentine’s Day flowers to patients in the hospital this year), recognizing outstanding resident and attending physician role models through the annual Clinicians Ceremony for third year medical students, group discussions of papers dealing with humanism in medicine and service projects to connect members to the needs of the Toledo community.
