Welcome!

We are the Jefferson Chapter of The Arnold P. Gold Foundation, a peer-nominated group of medical students and doctors dedicated to advancing humanism in medicine.

Our mission is to affirm more compassionate, patient-centered care by reflecting on the importance of humanism in the health care system, developing a more community service oriented environment, and recognizing those who demonstrate exceptional benevolence towards patients and health care professionals within the Jefferson community.
