When Shayan Mohammadmoradi, PhD, started thinking about his future in science, he wasn鈥檛 sure whether he wanted to become a physician or a researcher. What ultimately pulled him toward research was the chance to follow his own curiosity.

The 海角禁区 is excited to share that 31 medical students from the Bowling Green, Lexington, Morehead, and Northern Kentucky campuses were recently inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. 

Congratulations to the following medical students in the Class of 2026!
