The award recognizes and honors one faculty member \u201cwho demonstrates both clinical excellence and outstanding compassion in the delivery of care and who shows respect for patients, their families and healthcare colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than 100 medical schools present the annual award to a deserving graduating senior or a doctor.<\/p>\n

Gascho is described in a press release as a \u201cgifted physician, professor, photographer and poet.\u201d<\/p>\n

He directs the Cardiology Fellowship Program, incorporating humanism into learning by sharing cardiology images that have inspired poetry.<\/p>\n

Medical students have praised Gascho as a \u201creflective encouraging teacher who always pushed his students to think deeply about tough professional, ethical and social issues, and modeled himself as doing the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gascho has exhibited photographs of his patients and support staff at Penn State. \u201cIn hospitals, I want people to see that people are more than they appear to be on the surface,\u201d he said in a January 2018 article posted on the Penn State Medicine blog<\/a>. \u201cPatients are more than just patients, and doctors are more than just doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gascho’s photography and poetry often includes images of the heart, like this one of the left atrium, left ventricle and aorta with the color demonstrating the flow of blood into and out of the heart. (Courtesy of Joseph Gascho)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Among his publications on cardiac enzymes and interventional cardiology is a first-prize award for poetry in the Annals of Internal Medicine<\/em>. He has published a book of poetry, Cornfields, Cottonwoods, Seagulls and Sermons: Growing up in Nebraska<\/em> (Cascadia, 2017)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a cardiologist,\u201d Gascho says, \u201cI see diastole as a symbol of humanism. Diastole is when the heart fills with blood. I want my patient interactions to be \u2018diastoles,\u2019 times when I \u2018fill,\u2019 not just with the obviously important medical facts, but also with the equally important non-medical aspects of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gascho, who has been taking photos since the 1960s (he took his favorite through a pair of binoculars in 1965 at President Lyndon B. Johnson\u2019s inauguration), presented about his photography, poetry and work<\/a> at 91短视频 during the 2015 Homecoming weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
