Twenty-eight medical students at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine were inducted into this year’s Arnold P. Gold Foundation Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) for their compassionate patient care and contributions as role models, mentors, and leaders in medicine.
After meeting with Haitian community leaders including Larry Pierre, M.D., M.P.H., who gave the keynote address, and medical anthropologist and community health specialist Didi Bertrand Farmer, the class gained deeper insights into the challenges facing Haitians in Miami. Difficulties include low COVID-19 vaccination rates, poor access to accurate information about COVID in Haitian Creole, and the propagation of vaccine misinformation on social media platforms.
Founded in 2002, the Gold Humanism Honor Society has over 180 chapters in medical schools and residency programs across the country.
