The Newsletter of The Arnold P. Gold Foundation A Public Foundation Dedicated to Fostering Humanism in Medicine Thanksgiving 1998 “I think he’s a winner and I’m going to back him!” John H.

It’s really a great cause.” Marking our Tenth Anniversary: Now and the Future! The future of medicine is more encouraging than ever with regard to curing disease and alleviating human suffering. Sci- entific discoveries and technological advances are developing at the most rapid rate in history. It is a time of tremendous promise. However, the specters of depersonalization and the prefer- ence for institutional considerations loom greater than the needs of the individual. These tendencies are particularly dis- turbing when confronting the horrors and complexities associ- ated with human illness and suffering. The relationships established between a person who is sick and his or her caregivers are among the most intimate and delicate in the human experience. How can we reassure ourselves that proper care will be provided? Today we seek Drs. Arnold and Sandra Gold better guarantees that health care professionals will take our best interests to heart, as well as to mind. this summer we initiated and funded a pilot program at five schools to create a transitional rite of passage for third year stu- In 1988 a dedicated group of concerned individuals intent on dents beginning the clinical phase of training, to help prepare advocating for humanism in medicine created The Arnold P. them to meet their first patients.
