How do you picture humanistic patient care/ the practice of humanism within your given specialty? "Humanistic care within the scope of my specialty is perhaps no better depicted than through the multidisciplinary care provided for the head and neck cancer patient. These patients suffer from uniquely debilitating malignancies for which the treatments can be life altering. While I cannot truly understand the challenges and suffering that my patients experience in losing various faculties such as speech or swallowing, I am moved by my their resilience, faith, and love for life and family. It is profoundly meaningful and fulfilling to me as a physician to play a role in the management and surveillance of these patients. For me, understanding how to meet their basic needs and goals for quality of life in light of their cancer continues to teach me more about what it means to be human."

This year, GHHS began a National Initiative about Structural Racism and Its Impact on Medicine to encourage people to start conversations about racism and its impact on medicine. We have compiled a list of books that delve into racism in medicine and health inequities. This is certainly not an exhaustive list, but it is a starting point for us to begin to educate ourselves. Comment below if you have read any of these or if you have any other suggestions! We would love to hear your thoughts! #solidarityweek The Arnold P. Gold Foundation
