Jake finally let me take this picture of him (he is so modest;) This last Friday Jake was nominated to be a part of The Gold Humanism Honor Society. He was selected through a process including peer and faculty nomination followed by a review of each student's required essays, clerkship comments and record of community service to be a member of this national organization. This award is in recognition of exemplary service, integrity, clinical excellence and compassion as a medical student.
Jake had no idea when he went to the ceremony that afternoon that he would be receiving the award. I chuckled when he told me that he was planning on just sitting in the back and eating his bagel that he had sneaked in his pocket (my mind then thought of Napoleon Dynamite and his tater tots). He was prepared to not go hungry at what he thought would be a long boring required attendance event. Little did Jake know he would be sitting at the front of this required meeting receiving such an honor. Congratulations Jake on all your hard work! I'm so proud!
