“The process of gaining acceptance into medical school is very competitive, and at times individual achievement receives more attention than collaborative teamwork. I know you will follow the school’s tradition of coming together as a class, supporting and helping each other."
Dean Robert N. Golden
Gold Humanism Honor Society
The Gold Humanism Honor Society was established to honor senior medical students, residents, and faculty to elevate the concept of humanistic medicine.

White Coats are sponsored by the Wisconsin Medical Society Foundation from the donations of physician members of the Wisconsin Medical Society.
