About the Workshop

What: Tell Me More About Your Community: Voices in Immigration & Health

When: November 6–10, 2026

Where: Learn Serve Lead: The AAMC Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California

This workshop brings together leaders with firsthand experience in immigration and health to explore the unique strengths, challenges, fears, and barriers faced by immigrant communities in healthcare settings. Through conversation, storytelling, and shared resources, participants will consider how we can better understand these experiences and create more humanistic care.

Guided by the Gold Humanism Honor Society’s 2026 National Initiative, “Tell Me More About Your Community,”this session will highlight the importance of intentionally listening to and learning from immigrant communities and exploring how Gold Foundation tools and resources can help make healthcare kinder, safer, and more trustworthy.

Workshop Aims:

  • Deepen understanding of the factors that can prevent immigrant patients and families from experiencing humanistic care by learning directly from clinicians, advocates, and community leaders.
  • Strengthen community-centered approaches to understanding the intersection of immigration and healthcare across the United States and highlight resources that support kinder, safer, and more trustworthy care.
  • Elevate storytelling and listening as powerful tools for building empathy, fostering connection, and helping healthcare professionals and learners better understand the communities they serve.
