"Humanism is an attitude, it is an approach to medicine that makes it worthwhile and fun. It is recognizing the weight  of my words and taking utmost care to ensure they are gentle and therapeutic. It is trying to set a strong example for medical students observing me. It is reflecting on mistakes and thinking about how I can do better. It is really showing patients that we are on the same team. It gives my work meaning and purpose.”

“Humanism in medicine to me means respect, humility, and kindness. It highlights the importance of connecting with and listening to one another. I am truly honored and grateful to be invited to join the Gold Humanism Honor Society.”
