Dr. Howard R. Goldstein ’74 Memorial Humanitarian Scholarship

Howard R. Goldstein, MD

Howard R. Goldstein, MD.

Howard R. Goldstein, MD, aspired to a career in medicine from a young age. After finishing medical school at the University at Buffalo, he completed his residency at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital and practiced pediatric and adult urology for 26 years in New Jersey. Those who knew Goldstein remember him as a physician who often made house calls for neighbors, and who made special efforts to help others. Besides his family and friends, patients were the most important people in Goldstein’s life. This scholarship, established by Goldstein’s wife and two friends from his UB graduating class, commemorates his contributions to medicine and his humanitarian character.

This annual award honors fourth-year medical students who demonstrate a humanitarian spirit and dedication to the welfare of others. 

Past recipients have engaged in varied activities that demonstrate compassion for others, including:
