Gold Humanism Honor Society
The Robert F. Russell, MD, BUSM ’46, Chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine was founded in 2006 with support from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation. This chapter is part of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation’s larger national GHHS that recognizes and supports humanistic exemplars in medicine. Since 2006, over 500 medical students, residents, and faculty members have been inducted into the GHHS Chobanian & Avedisian SOM chapter by peer nomination. Election to GHHS membership constitutes a significant honor, comparable to being selected to AOA. Ken Grundfast, MD is the GHHS chapter advisor. Ana Gregory is the administrative contact.
