GHHS membership is life-long! We offer programs, resources, and events to help support you in your continued humanism in practice and leadership. Through joining this community of like-minded professionals, we aim to foster a network which together champions and advocates for compassionate patient care.
Join the after medical school committee
The Humanism in Action Sub-committee works on identifying ways for our GHHS student members to stay involved in appropriate Gold Foundation programming after departing from medical school. The relationships between GHHS and these students was a critical part of their UME experience – GHHS staff would like to better understand the needs and desires of these GHHS members in an effort to coordinate programming that will be interesting for them.
The mission of the GHHS Alumni Committee is to promote networking and create spaces for meaningful engagement beyond medical school among GHHS alumni members. If you are interested in joining the after medical school committee, please email ltvito@gold-foundation.org and mhernandez@gold-foundation.org to indicate your interest. Learn more about some of our committee members here.
