Volunteer Clinical Faculty Award

2011 Volunteer Clinical Faculty Award recipients

Volunteer Clinical Faculty Awards

Volunteer clinical faculty members are often inadequately appreciated and rarely recognized. Alpha Omega Alpha's Volunteer Clinical Faculty Award is presented annually to recognize a community physician who contributes with distinction to the education and training of clinical students.

The national office of AΩA provides a permanent plaque for the Dean's office; a plate with the name of each year's awardee may be added each spring. The awardee receives a framed certificate from Alpha Omega Alpha. Recipients of the award are not eligible to receive it more than once. Nominees need not be members of AΩA, nor does the award confer AΩA membership.

Nominations for the Volunteer Clinical Faculty Award may be made by all clinical students, with the recipient chosen by student members of the AΩA chapter. The AΩA councilor at each school is responsible for implementation of the process for nomination and election.

Nominations
Nominate a community physician, not on the full-time or part-time faculty, who effectively and generously donates his or her time, skill, and experience to teach you clinical skills.

Deadlines and nomination recipients vary by chapter. Contact your local chapter office about the deadline date for nominations.

Please notify the national office as soon as election is made. Allow a minimum of three weeks to receive the framed certificate and the perpetual name plate for the plaque.
