Cindy Koh volunteers with several community service projects, has written for and organized an online medical student literary journal, and has sung with the student a cappella group. Faculty members comment regularly on her extraordinary empathy, respectfulness, and patience with even the most “difficult” patients. The Gold Humanism Honor Society selection committee was impressed by Cindy's profound understanding of the ways that illness can sometimes obscure the personal "narrative" that makes each individual unique and beautiful - and by her ability to see past illness and empathize with the person within the "patient".
