Dr. Sevilla a Gold Humanism Honor Society Charter Member

Javier F. Sevilla Martir, M.D., was one of three faculty members inducted as charter members of the Indiana University School of Medicine Gold Humanism Honor Society.

A grant from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation established the chapter at IUSM. The Gold Foundation encourages the creation of chapters in medical schools around the country to honor senior medical students, residents, role-model physician-teachers and others who demonstrate excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service.

At the ceremony held on November 30, 2005, 40 IUSM senior medical students were inducted into the society as well. IUSM Dean Craig Brater, MD, was the keynote speaker, presenting "Musings on Humanism at IUSM" at the induction ceremony and dinner at the Omni Severin Hotel. Allison Sole, program officer and coordinator of the National Gold Humanism Honor Society, presented the students with certificates and gold GHHS lapel pins.
