AOA Honor Medical Society welcomes 49 new members
Forty-nine new members were inducted recently into the UT Southwestern Medical School chapter of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. Although COVID-19 prohibited the annual in-person banquet, a virtual event was held on March 18 celebrating the inductees and honoring their accomplishments.
Members are selected based upon high academic standing, leadership among peers, professionalism, a firm sense of ethics, promise of future success in medicine, and a commitment to serve in the school and community.
