The Perelman School of Medicine is accepting faculty, resident and fellow nominations to our AΩA Chapter. If you are interested in nominating a current faculty, resident, or fellow member in your department please email a paragraph of support to osa@pennmedicine.upenn.edu no later than Friday, December 30th. No other supporting information (nominee's CV, additional letters, etc.) will be considered. 

Each year, the PSOM AΩA chapter inducts residents, fellows and faculty, along with 20% of the graduating medical student class. The ideal nominees are those who have excelled in the criteria for nomination to AΩA membership—scholastic achievement, professionalism, leadership, community service, and research. Scholastic achievement refers to the qualities of becoming and being, an excellent doctor—trustworthiness, character, caring, knowledge, skills, demeanor, proficiency of the doctor-patient relationship, promise of future leadership, decision-making, compassion, empathy, altruism, values of the profession, teamwork, life-long learning, and servant leadership. The current student AΩA chapter will be reviewing the nominees and may select up to five faculty members for induction.

If you are unsure if a faculty member has previously been inducted and is currently a member of AΩA you may search the official directory using the “Member Locator” function found here.

The selected faculty and resident inductees will be recognized at the Perelman School of Medicine AΩA Induction Ceremony on Monday, April 3rd, 2023.   

Thank you,

Sharon Lewis, MD, and the Office of Student Affairs
