Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society
AOA is an international society recognizing students, alumni, and faculty who dedicate themselves to the medical profession. About 3,500 people are inducted into this society annually.
AOA has 135 chapters in medical schools throughout the U.S. and has inducted more than 200,000 members since its founding in 1902.
More than 50 Nobel Prize winners in physiology, medicine and chemistry have been AOA members. More than 30 of those were elected to AOA prior to winning the Nobel Prize.
Each year at OUWB, third-year and fourth-year medical students are selected by the AOA Committee as the top 16% of their class based on academic performance, leadership experience, and community service. Representing multiple clinical departments from Corewell Health System, the committee volunteers their time to keep OUWB's chapter growing.
OUWB annually holds its induction ceremony during autumn.
