Gold Humanism Honor Society

Creation of this GHHS chapter was made possible by a grant from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation.  By encouraging the creation of chapters in medical schools around the country, the Gold Foundation seeks to honor senior medical students, residents, role-model physicians teachers and other exemplars who demonstrate excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service. http://www.humanism-in-medicine.org/

 

Alpha of Indiana 

Alpha Omega Alpha is the only national honor medical society in the world, founded in 1902.  The Indiana University Chapter was admitted as Alpha of Indiana in 1916.  Alpha Omega Alpha elects outstanding medical students, graduates, faculty, housestaff and honorary members to its ranks.  AΩA strives to recognize and perpetuate excellence in the medical profession through a number of programs including various teaching awards to the faculty, research, essay and service awards to the students, visiting professorships and a quarterly journal, The Pharos.

GUIDELINES FOR ELECTION

Junior Medical Students:  No more than one-sixth of the class may be elected as juniors.  All students must be in the upper twenty-five percent of the class.  To aid in assessment of the candidates’ eligibility, an evaluation system based upon the student’s first two years, junior clerkships and the USMLE Step I scores has been developed

Senior Medical Students:  The Dean’s office will identify the top 25% of the students in the projected graduating class.  Eligible students are invited to submit a one-page summary of their extra-curricular activities, while in medical school only, with these three criteria: research, community service and extracurricular school activities.  Volunteers from the A?A membership will review three or four student summaries and serve as those students’ representatives at the fall election meeting usually held in September.  Elected students are inducted at a banquet held in March.
