The Volunteer Clinical Faculty Award
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 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 chapter. The councilor at each school is responsible for implementation of the process for nomination and election.
Volunteer Faculty Award Guidelines are available in both Word and PDF:
