Rx: The Gold Standard of Patient Care

 Physicians, who along with an excellent fund of scientific knowledge and clinical skills, must:

• show respect for the patient’s viewpoint
• display effective and empathetic communication skills
• demonstrate sensitivity in working with patients and family members of diverse  cultural & social backgrounds
• display compassion and respect throughout the patient interaction

 
The Gold Foundation’s signature programs and grant making activities promote the development of doctors who exemplify The Gold Standard of Patient Care, by Setting Expectations (Student Clinician’s Ceremony and White Coat Ceremony), Providing Experiences and Opportunities for Perspective Taking (Essay Contest, Home Visit Program, Humanism and Ethics Night and Student Summer Fellowships),  Promoting Role Models and Mentors (Gold DOC, Gold Humanism Honor Society, Gold Professorships), and Encouraging Research and Innovative Change (Grant Requests and Picker/Gold Challenge Grants).
