AΩA
How Members Are Chosen
The Constitution of AΩA gives many degrees of freedom to each chapter for the
process of election of student members within certain firm guidelines. These can
be summarized as follows:
At approximately 16 months before a given class will graduate from medical
school, the Councilor must arrange with the dean's office, with the students'
permission, to receive in confidence a list of the top quartile as measured by
academic performance.
From this top quartile of students, each chapter may elect to AΩA membership
up to one-sixth of the projected number of students that will graduate. The
chapter may elect up to half of that one-sixth of students in the spring of the
third year, and the remainder at any time from the fall of the fourth year until
graduation. There is wide variability in the process among chapters. Some elect
no junior students, and several elect all student members in the spring of their
senior year just prior to graduation.
Those students chosen from the top quartile for election are picked not only for
their high academic standing, but as well for leadership among their peers,
professionalism and a firm sense of ethics, promise of future success in
medicine, and a commitment to service in the school and community. By
adherence to these criteria it has happened that one or more of the highest
ranked students by grade point average have not been elected to the society.
