Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society

Alpha Omega Alpha is the only national medical honor society in the world. It was founded in 1902 in order to recognize and perpetuate excellence in the medical profession. AOA at The George Washington University School of Medicine is the oldest chapter in Washington, DC, founded in 1954. Senior medical students are elected to the honor society based on their academic performance, extracurricular activities, research endeavors, and commitment to the community. Less than 15% of the class is eligible for election. In addition, each chapter of AOA elects deserving housestaff, full-time faculty, and medical school alumni each year.

The elected senior students each year spend time organizing tutorial services for underclassmen in academic need and perform various community-based medical services including lecture series based on medical topics for our inner-city population.

Students, alumni, faculty, and housestaff are officially inducted into AOA just prior to the medical school graduation ceremony in May.

Currently, Dr. Alan Wasserman is GW's AOA counselor and Dr. Angelike Liappis is the chapter's secretary.
