Matthew Goldshore, MD, PhD
Matthew Goldshore, MD, PhD, chief resident of General Surgery and deputy director of the Center for Surgical Health (CSH), has received the Resident Surgical Volunteerism Award from the American College of Surgeons (ACS).
He was honored for his work establishing the CSH, which helps underserved, uninsured patients who typically rely on the emergency department for treatment to get proper surgical care. Through the program, patients also get support for other social determinants that serve as barriers to good health, like transportation and translation services during visits.
At Penn Medicine, we all aspire to be Difference Makers who represent the Penn Medicine Experience (PMX) in action. PMX sets a consistent standard across all of our entities and work locations to make every touchpoint an opportunity to build enduring connections with patients, families, visitors and colleagues, which is a foundational part of the UPHS Success Share program.
