In 2018, the Gold Humanism Honor Society decided to bring to light the importance of the residence staff and encourage medical students at chapters throughout the nation to show their gratitude and appreciation. Residency is a key component of graduate medical training, offering an in-depth exposure to medical practice. It can often lead to long working hours matched with many responsibilities. Residents serve as the “house staff” of the hospital and are an integral part to the healthcare team, often serving as indispensable resources for medical students, especially during a clinical clerkship. 

⭐️ We’re back! Happy 2022, all! Our next Resident’s Spotlight goes to Dr. Sandra Akinbinu, PGY-2, who is one of the best seniors you could ever have on the floors! ⭐️
