After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Loma Linda University School of Medicine’s Epsilon chapter of California hosted the Alpha Omega Alpha Annual Banquet in person. Thirty-two members of the Loma Linda University School of Medicine class of 2022, eleven faculty members and twenty-three residents and fellows were inducted into membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) honor medical society during the organization’s annual banquet, which was held Tuesday, March 15, at the Centennial Complex.
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. More than 4,000 students, residents/fellows, faculty, and alumni are elected each year into the Alpha Omega Alpha since its founding in 1902, and nearly 200,000 members have been elected to the society.
