The Gold Humanism Honor Society
A Commitment to Professionalism and Humanism
Michael Mendoza, AB ‘96, MD ‘01, MPH GHHS Induction Ceremony Keynote
“Your selection tonight signifies the esteem you hold with your colleagues, but also the responsibility you have to uphold those values as future physicians. You are and will be leaders in your respective fields. As leaders, we have an opportunity and duty to protect—if not further define—humanism in medicine. We strive to be humanistic physicians, to promote humanism as educators, to conduct ethical research, and to properly leverage our role in society for the greater good.”
—Dr. Michael Mendoza
