The College of Medicine’s Chapman Chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society honored medical students, residents and faculty who exemplify compassion and caring in medicine during an annual ceremony Feb. 27. The society inducted 25 fourth-year medical students, five residents and two faculty members. Dean Yamaguchi, M.D., recieved the Hugh A. Walters, M.D., Humanitarian Award at the event. “We have a long-standing history of developing humanism in our medical students,” said College of Medicine Dean Michael L. Good. “It’s an explicitly stated educational guiding principle. Please remember the ability you have as a physician to be compassionate.” … The College of Nursing recently received an educational development grant from the Jonas Nurse Leaders Scholar Program that will allow one student to receive a $10,000 scholarship for financial support in doctoral studies. Faculty members selected doctoral student Anastasia Albanese-O’Neill to receive the scholarship based on her leadership experience in diabetes education, treatment and advocacy, as well as her research interest and career goals as a potential nursing program faculty member. … Carole Daniel, a doctoral student and a U.S. Navy commander, has received funding from the TriService Nursing Research Program for her grant, “Effect of Psychosocial Factors on Acute and Persistent Pain Following Childbirth.”
