Groups of students at 12 medical schools have been awarded AΩA’s Medical Student Service Leadership Project (MSSLP) Grants. Projects include a wide variety of topics, ranging from colorectal cancer screening to food insecurity intervention.
Alpha Omega Alpha, founded in 1902, is the national medical honor society.
Election to Alpha Omega Alpha is an honor signifying a lasting commitment to professionalism, leadership, scholarship, research, and community service. A lifelong honor, membership in the society confers recognition for a physician's dedication to the profession and art of healing.
Membership in AΩA may be attained as a medical student, resident, fellow, faculty member, alumni, clinician, or distinguished leader in medicine. Each school may elect up to 20% of the graduating class of students, up to 25 residents/fellows, up to 10 faculty, and three to five alumni, who, based on merit, demonstrate the characteristics of excellent physicians in alignment with AΩA's mission and values.
