Alpha Omega Alpha
The Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society, called Alpha Omega Alpha (ΑΩΑ or AOA), is a national honor society for medical students, residents, scientists, and physicians in the United States and Canada. Membership into AOA is one of the highest honors a student is eligible for during his or her four years of medical school, as only a small fraction of a class is even eligible for this distinction.
==History==
AOA was founded in 1902 by William Webster Root and five other medical students at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, which later became the University of Illinois College of Medicine. The impetus for its formation was the generally poor quality of American medical schools and students at the time; Root and his colleagues wished to promote excellence in these groups.
Root pitched his idea to nearby schools, and soon the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine and Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine had set up chapters too. Ten years later, there were seventeen chapters. As more medical schools became interested, the national organization was able to become more selective in the standards a school had to meet to be eligible. Soon, it became a mark of prestige to have an ΑΩΑ chapter at one's school.
Collections of the society's papers were donated to the National Library of Medicine in 1973 by John Z. Bowers, and in 2000 by Gladys Brill Brampton.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alpha Omega Alpha Archives 1894–1992 )〕
