The Arnold P. Gold Foundation is pleased to announce the six winners of the 2022 Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest. First place is awarded to Mason Blacker of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and nursing student Jessica Pierce of the Oregon Health & Science University.
Second place is awarded to Molly Fessler of the University of Michigan Medical School and Victoria Furka of University of Tennessee-Knoxville College of Nursing, and third place goes to Nali Gillespie of Duke University School of Medicine and Danielle Blackwell of Frontier Nursing University.
The essay contest is named for Hope Babette Tang-Goodwin, MD, an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, whose devotion and generosity to the care of the children and infants with HIV infection in New York City was an inspiration to her colleagues and her students. Her approach to medicine combined a seemingly limitless enthusiasm for her work, intellectual rigor and deep compassion for her patients.
