Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society

Alpha Omega Alpha is the only national honor medical society in the world. Its raison d'etre can be expressed in a phrase: to recognize and perpetuate excellence in the medical profession. As stated in the society's constitution, "Alpha Omega Alpha is organized for educational purposes exclusively and not for profit, and its aims shall be the promotion of scholarship and research in medical schools, the encouragement of a high standard of character and conduct among medical students and graduates, and the recognition of high attainment in medical science, practice, and related fields." To fulfill the role it has set for itself, Alpha Omega Alpha elects outstanding medical students, residents, alumni, faculty and honorary members to its ranks in an annual initiation ceremony each spring. Listed below are those who have been elected to membership in recent years.
