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 Simran's peers had to say about their humanistic care in medicine:
Simran Malhotra is an exceptional medical student who personifies the values of active listening, patient-centered care, and compassion. Her ability to listen actively and make every person feel valued is truly remarkable, whether it's patients or colleagues. During her palliative care rotation, her peers took into account Simran as she demonstrated her commitment to patient well-being by going above and beyond to spend time with a patient suffering from a painful, life-limiting disease. Her empathetic listening skills were therapeutic for the patient and exemplified her dedication to providing comfort and respect in patient interactions. Simran consistently puts patient care at the forefront of her practice. Her dedication extends beyond the clinical setting, as seen in her interactions with patients' families. She holds their hands during anesthesia and provides continuous support throughout surgeries. Her unwavering commitment to continuity of care and patient-centered practice stands out. Simran's detail-oriented approach, commitment to researching clinical topics, and gentle yet persistent interviewing style make her an exemplary medical student. She cares deeply about patients, providers, and improving the healthcare system, dedicating herself to mental health and global health initiatives while advocating for equity and compassionate patient care. Simran's unwavering dedication and exceptional patient-centered care make her a true role model in healthcare. With that, we would like to acknowledge and congratulate Simran
