The medical school presented six residents on April 17 with its Arnold P. Gold Foundation's Humanism and Excellence in Teaching Awards. This is the third year that the prize has been given.
The winners are Megan Daly, MD, in radiation oncology; Stephanie Fisher, MD, in obstetrics and gynecology; Amy Gallo, MD, in general surgery; Zach Koontz, MD, in internal medicine; Eleni Linos, MD, PhD, in dermatology; and Amy McCammond, MD, in pediatrics.
"It's very easy in this day of high-tech medicine to stand in awe of technological innovation and the wonders of bioengineering, but in the end what so often makes a difference is the personal touch and the caring that physicians show to patients," said Neil Gesundheit, MD, associate professor of medicine, who presented the awards. "This is a moment for us to pause and honor that in the house staff: They are role models for our students."
Medical students nominated the residents whom they wanted to be considered for the awards. Students then voted for their top choice from the 60 or so nominees, with the honor going to the six with the most votes.
