The Gold Foundation is pleased to announce that 24 medical students from 10 medical schools have been selected as 2021 Gold Student Summer Fellows, embarking summer projects to amplify humanism in healthcare and help address health inequities. This year’s projects range in scope and topic, including addressing barriers to healthcare access faced by immigrant and refugee communities in Vermont, Virginia, and Israel, increasing access to the COVID-19 vaccine for people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles, and creating an early screening program to help identify and refer patients with stages of diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma who are uninsured and underinsured in Galveston, Texas.

2021 White Coat Ceremony virtual keynotes to feature Dr. Barbara Ross-Lee & Dr. Deborah Trautman |
|
The Gold Foundation is pleased to be partnering with the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) to produce virtual keynote addresses for nursing and medical schools to use in their upcoming 2021 White Coat/Oath Ceremonies. In 2020, as many ceremonies shifted online, the Gold Foundation first offered a keynote recording as an option for schools to include in their ceremonies. We are continuing the tradition this year, with Dr. Barbara Ross-Lee, a medical education legend and the first African-American woman to be dean of a U.S. medical school, giving a keynote address for medical schools, and nursing leader and visionary Dr. Deborah Trautman, AACN President and CEO, giving the nursing keynote. Each video includes an introduction by fellow medical and nursing leaders and is 10-15 minutes in total.
Medical school administrators who are planning the White Coat Ceremonies can visit our toolkit to request access to the keynote video by Dr. Ross-Lee now. The nursing video will be available later this summer.
