The Leonard P. Tow Humanism Award Presented by the Gold Foundation
This award was first given in 1998 by a newly established granting organization that believes that a key component of medical education is compassionate and humanistic care of patients. By vote of a committee of faculty members and students, these awards are presented to recognize and honor one faculty member and one graduating student who demonstrate the highest standard of compassion and sensitivity in their interaction with patients.
