A number of medical students, resident physicians, and faculty at ETSU’s James H. Quillen College of Medicine have been inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society, which is supported by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation.
The GHHS recognizes senior medical students, resident physicians and faculty for demonstrated excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service.
Election to the GHHS is a significant honor, and inductees must have demonstrated exemplary attitudes and behaviors characteristic of the most humanistic physicians.
Rising fourth-year medical students inducted into GHHS are: Joshua Charles Combs, Christopher Lewis Cropsey, Matthew Patrick Goldman, Erin Winn Jackson, Elizabeth Ann Jenkins, Bethany Ann Mayes, Sabrina Dawn Miller, Katherine Ann Rochelle and Kathryn Ellen Shipp.
Four resident physicians from the Quillen College who are recipients of the 2008 Gold Foundation Humanism and Excellence in Teaching Award were also inducted. They are Dr. Sally Suzanne Benton (Psychiatry), Dr. Heather Naomi Champney (Pediatrics), Dr. Stephen Clark (Internal Medicine), and Dr. Marcella Greene (Surgery).
Other 2008 Gold award recipients who were previously inducted into GHHS were recognized.
Dr. Joe Florence, associate professor of family medicine and director of rural programs, was inducted into GHHS. Florence was the 2007 recipient of the Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award.
