Share With Students: Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest

The Gold Foundation's Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest asks nursing students to engage in a reflective writing exercise that illustrates an experience where they or a healthcare team member worked to ensure that humanism was at the core of care. Submissions that touch upon students’ personal experiences of humanistic care or stories of family and friends are also accepted. Winners will receive monetary awards of $1000, $500 and $250, respectively, and their essays are published in Academic Medicine and the Journal of Professional Nursing in the fall. Share this opportunity with your students! The application deadline is March 13, 2023. Information and the application are available here
