Thirteen third-year and 16 fourth-year medical students were honored March 9 at The University of Toledo College of Medicine Student Clinician's Ceremony recognizing the humanistic side of practicing medicine.
“The Student Clinician's Ceremony is designed to underscore the imperative of providing humanistic care to patients at the same time students are required to demonstrate high standards of knowledge and skill performance,” said Dr. Patricia Metting, vice provost for student affairs on the Health Science Campus.
The ceremony featured a keynote address from 1986 alum Dr. William Hablitzel, a humanistic physician who authored Dying Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me: Stories of Healing and Wisdom Along Life's Journey (2006).
The Student Clinician's Ceremony varies widely from medical school to medical school to suit each school's individual needs, Metting said, and was organized by third- and fourth-year College of Medicine students and Della Croci, director of student affairs on the Health Science Campus. It was developed by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation in collaboration with five medical schools.
Six UT Medical Center residents were recognized as role models for compassionate, relationship-centered care with the Gold Foundation's Humanism and Excellence in Teaching Award. They are:
• Dr. Hammad Amer, Surgery;
• Dr. Zeenat Bhat, Medicine;
• Dr. Mario Castillo-Sang, Surgery;
• Dr. Anand Gundappa, Neurosciences;
• Dr. Amy Riese, Psychiatry; and
• Dr. Michael Schmidt, Surgery.
Additionally, students were inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society, a national society recognizing and supporting humanism in medicine and demonstrated excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service.
Thirteen of 137 the third-year students inducted were from UT. They are Louisa R. Bechtel, Jonathan H. Berger, Jacinta C. Borgelt, Nathan D. Egbert, Theresa M. Frey, Nicholas C. Frisch, Bradley J. Haupricht, Tho D. Le, Christopher J. Owens, Seema Pai, Victoria L. Sheridan, John S. Wells and Brett B. Williams.
Sixteen of the 151 fourth-year students inducted were from UT. They are Allison N. Cihla, Bryan A. Corpus, Richard C. Curry III, Jason S. Elwell, Prashanth S. Katrapati, Mary T. LaSalvia, David C. Majors, George A. Markakis, Jennifer M. McAllister, Eric J. Mitchell, Ryan A. Nofziger, Lisa A. Oriti, Elizabeth A. Parker, Eric R. Pittman, Adrienne E. Stanley and Bethany M. Stelnicki.
