Student Clinician's Ceremony

The Student Clinician’s Ceremony celebrates the medical  student’s transition from the preclinical to the clinical experience. This is  one of three signature programs offered to medical schools through the Arnold  P. Gold Foundation. It joins the White Coat Ceremony and the Gold Humanism  Honor Society induction in marking important transitions and encouraging  student commitment to humanistic practice as future physicians.

Six outstanding residents were also recognized with the Gold  Foundation’s Humanism and Excellence in Teaching Award. Nominated by third and  fourth-year medical students, the recipients were selected for exhibiting  particularly strong teaching skills and for serving as role models for  compassionate, relationship-centered care. Recipients of this award for 2008  were:

• Sarah Bonza, MD, Family Medicine
• Julie Coffman, MD, Internal  Medicine
• Stacey Hindy Francis, MD,  Surgery
• Katharine Roxanne Grawe, MD Surgery
• Chris Karas, MD, Neurological  Surgery
• Jeffrey Keyes, MD, Pediatrics

The Arnold  P. Gold Foundation advances humanism in medicine, perpetuating the tradition of  the caring doctor. Through innovative medical education, Ohio State University  College of Medicine is able to promote and affirm more compassionate medical care and caregivers.
