The society is a national cohort of physicians, fellows, residents and medical students who strive to inspire and cultivate humanism within themselves, their peers and their patients. The UNC Chapter strives to exemplify humanistic qualities in medicine and peer relationships through inclusion and inter-professional development. Nationally, there are currently has over 21,000 members in training and practice. The power of the Society lies in bringing together like-minded individuals to sustain their own humanism and to inspire and nurture humanism in others.<\/p>\n<p>The UNC Chapter of GHHS was founded in 2013 under the direction of our faculty advisor, Dr. Amy Weil. Our chapter currently comprises faculty and fourth-year medical students with plans to include residents in the coming years. New members of GHHS are inducted at the first year White Coat Ceremony held in Memorial Hall every fall. Members are nominated by their peers and faculty, and are reviewed by a selection committee on the basis of their commitment to humanism, excellent communication skills, compassion, integrity, moral judgment and community service. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the current co-leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Each year the GHHS sponsors events to support humanism in medicine. Several events are highlighted here as examples of the historical activities of the GHHS.<\/p>\n<som-cell cell-info=\"{&quot;ID&quot;:4939,&quot;post_author&quot;:&quot;118311&quot;,&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2025-03-03 13:12:18&quot;,&quot;post_date_gmt&quot;:&quot;2025-03-03 18:12:18&quot;,&quot;post_content&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_title&quot;:&quot;Student Orgs \\u2013 Gold Humanism Honor Society&quot;,&quot;post_excerpt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_status&quot;:&quot;publish&quot;,&quot;comment_status&quot;:&quot;closed&quot;,&quot;ping_status&quot;:&quot;closed&quot;,&quot;post_password&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_name&quot;:&quot;student-orgs-gold-humanism-honor-society&quot;,&quot;to_ping&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;pinged&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_modified&quot;:&quot;2025-03-03 13:19:50&quot;,&quot;post_modified_gmt&quot;:&quot;2025-03-03 18:19:50&quot;,&quot;post_content_filtered&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;post_parent&quot;:0,&quot;guid&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.med.unc.edu\\\/md\\\/student-government\\\/cell\\\/student-orgs-gold-humanism-honor-society\\\/&quot;,&quot;menu_order&quot;:0,&quot;post_type&quot;:&quot;somcell&quot;,&quot;post_mime_type&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;comment_count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;filter&quot;:&quot;raw&quot;}\" cell-meta=\"{&quot;_upd_sortorder&quot;:[&quot;1&quot;],&quot;layout&quot;:[&quot;RepeatableBoxes&quot;],&quot;cellInformation&quot;:[&quot;{\\&quot;singleCellBlocks\\&quot;:{},\\&quot;repeatableBoxes\\&quot;:[{\\&quot;includeLink\\&quot;:1,\\&quot;linkText\\&quot;:\\&quot;Wellness is a critical theme of Resident Appreciation Week, wherein GHHS helps medical students, faculty and the community say thank you to the hardworking residents at UNC Hospitals.\\&quot;,\\&quot;linkIcon\\&quot;:\\&quot;person-walking\\&quot;},{\\&quot;includeLink\\&quot;:1,\\&quot;linkIcon\\&quot;:\\&quot;comments\\&quot;,\\&quot;linkText\\&quot;:\\&quot;GHHS fosters discussion of personhood outside of health and disease through the annual Tell Me More project.\\&quot;},{\\&quot;linkText\\&quot;:\\&quot;Medical students often find that patients serve as their best teachers.
