2024 Gold Humanism Summit speakers Dr. Mick Krasner and Dr. Ruby Mendenhall answer "8 Questions" |
|
“8 Questions with…” is a series spotlighting members of the Gold community. |
|
What is one book you’d recommend to patients and/or fellow clinicians?
There are so many great books that I have loved, and I know colleagues and patients would love, too. So, I must choose one, right? Well, one among many is Abraham Verghese’s first book, My Own Country...
|
|
What do you think is the most urgent threat to humanism in healthcare?
I think that one of the urgent threats to humanism, specifically scientific excellence, is the limited collaboration with the general public as citizen/community scientists in understanding trauma and cultural practices that help to prevent diseases...

The 2023 cohort of Gold Student Summer Fellows were creative, inspired, and committed to making a difference.
For medical student Mary Finedore, of the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, her fellowship experience was full of emotion and meaning, and it was surprising in the best way.
Mary's project focused on creating resources for LGBTQ+ youth aging out of foster care.
