In this next conversation in our Gold Student Summer Fellows series, Gold Assistant Director of Program Initiatives Michelle Sloane interviews Johanna Balas, who is a 2022 Gold Student Summer Fellow and a medical student at the Rush University. Her service project, titled "Implementing a Virtual Reality Training Program for CNAs Providing Care for Persons with Dementia," integrated a virtual reality (VR)-based online and in-person hybrid curriculum in the training of certified nursing assistants (CNAs) at a nonprofit organization offering memory care and long-term skilled nursing for older adults. More than 50% of residents in long-term care facilities have some form of dementia or cognitive impairment. The Gold Connection is produced by the Gold Humanism Honor Society, a program of The Arnold P. Gold Foundation, a nonprofit that champions humanism in healthcare. On this podcast, we share stories of humanism in action, as well as tools and lessons for students, clinicians, and leaders.
