The Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award
The UF College of Medicine selects one graduating medical student and one faculty member for the Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award, sponsored by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation. Five- ten student nominees are selected based on student peer evaluation of humanism and community service, and the entire graduating class is polled to determine the recipient of the medical student award. The faculty awardee is selected by the Faculty and Resident Selection Committee from among the two new faculty inductees.
