In this episode of the Gold Connection podcast, we kick off a 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. These are fascinating projects created by medical students to make a difference and grow their skills as future compassionate, relationship-centered physicians.

In this first conversation, Gold Assistant Director of Program Initiatives Michelle Sloane interviews Richard Vuong and Lindsay Aldrich, who are 2022 Gold Student Summer Fellows and medical students at the Larner College of Medicine at University of Vermont. Their service project, titled U-Health, is focused on an interprofessional collaboration to create a mobile health vehicle to bring postpartum visits to mothers in rural Vermont.

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.
