Congratulations to our new Alpha Omega Alpha Nominees: Haley Amoth, James Evers, Jacob Greenmyer, Ellen Kronzer, Jordan Lindholm, Shirin Nour, John Stacy, Annika Strand, Alexandra Streifel, and Ashley Wood (plus one more student we were unable to contact after several attempts).

Alpha Omega Alpha (AΩA) Honor Medical Society is an honor society in the field of medicine. AΩA has 132 Chapters in medical schools throughout the United States and has elected more than 183,000 members since its founding. More than fifty Nobel Prize winners in Physiology or Medicine, and in Chemistry, have been AΩA members. More than thirty of those were elected to AΩA prior to winning the Nobel Prize. Nearly seventy-five percent of deans of U.S. medical schools are members of AΩA.

According to the organization’s mission statement, Alpha Omega Alpha is dedicated to the belief that in the profession of medicine members can improve care for all patients by recognizing high educational achievement, honoring gifted teaching, encouraging the development of leaders in academia and the community, supporting the ideals of humanism, and promoting service to others.

Congratulations!
