Gold Humanism Honor Society
Listen. Connect. Collaborate.
About
The Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) was established in 2021 at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV. GHHS recognizes those students, faculty, and residents who demonstrate humanism in medicine, including compassion, integrity, advocacy, and the ability to be a role model to others.
The chapter inducts annually up to 15% of the fourth-year class, and a select group of faculty and residents.
The induction event is held each Fall semester.
