In Episode 10, we continue our series of conversations with Gold Student Summer Fellows who each embarked on a summer research or service project to magnify humanism in healthcare and help address health inequities. 

Gold Assistant Director of Program Initiatives Michelle Sloane interviews Abbygale Willging, who is a 2022 Gold Student Summer Fellow and a medical student at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. Her service project, titled "Survey of Traditional Home Remedy Use in Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department in Riobamba, Ecuador," explores the use of traditional remedies by patients in the Riobamba, Ecuador, community, who presented to the Emergency Department after experiencing a health-related emergency.

The Gold Connection is produced by the Gold Humanism Honor Society, a program of The Arnold P. Gold Foundation, a nonprofit that champions humanism in healthcare. On this podcast, we share stories of humanism in action, as well as tools and lessons for students, clinicians, and leaders.
