The Gold Humanism Honor Society recognizes students, residents and faculty who are exemplars of compassionate patient care and who serve as role models, mentors, and leaders in medicine. Members are peer nominated and are the ones that others say they want taking care of their own family. Since its inception in 2002, Gold Humanism Honor Society has grown in influence to become a vital part of medical school and residency training program cultures throughout the US.
Here’s what Carly's peers had to say about their humanistic care in medicine:
Carly Kaplan is an extraordinary advocate for patient well-being. Her dedication to patient-centered care goes above and beyond, ensuring that patients and their families are comfortable in the hospital. Carly's attention to detail is evident after pre-rounding and rounding, where she checks on patients to ensure they have their socks on and bed guard rails are up. She even extends her care beyond her shift, as witnessed by her peers during the clerkships when she sought access to a computer for a graduate student patient to continue their studies. Carly's commitment to understanding her patients as individuals is commendable. She listens attentively, spending significant time with them to address their unique needs. Her genuine care for adolescent patients coupled with her dedication to providing education and conveying patient wishes to attending doctors, sets her apart from her peers. In emergency situations, Carly's dedication shines through as she ensures proper communication and surpassing her own shift times. She also prioritizes self-care, seeking support and debriefing after challenging interactions. Carly's ability to connect with her patients, along with her compassion and dedication, makes her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a compassionate, well-rounded, and dedicated healthcare provider. Her advocacy for patients and dedication to their holistic well-being is truly remarkable. With that, we acknowledge and congratulate Carly
