The first virtual Gold conference, Humanism & Healing: Structural Racism & Its Impact on Medicine, drew nearly 500 people passionate about tackling racism in medicine and fostering inclusive, diverse, and ultimately humanistic healthcare. Attendees included Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) members, medical and nursing students, deans, physicians, nurses, researchers, CEOs, and many others across the wide spectrum of healthcare. The virtual gathering, which grew out of the Gold Humanism Honor Society’s 2021-2022 National Initiative, was hosted by the GHHS and open to all. It included keynote addresses, live Q&As, panel discussions, two special Gold Human InSight Webinars, Poster Hall, Art Gallery, and much more. All sessions were recorded and will be available to view within the conference portal until August 1.
