Ben is Alpha Omega Alpha

Ben found out today that he has been 
elected to Alpha Omega Alpha.

Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) is the only medical school honor society in the world. It seeks to recognize and perpetuate excellence in the medical profession by promoting scholarship and research in medical schools, encouraging a high standard of character and conduct among medical students and graduates and recognizing high attainment in medical science, practice and related fields. 

At Virginia Commonwealth University, it means that Ben is in the Top 16% of his medical class.  Med Students given this honor are selected using not only class rank and boards, but also other criteria: research, class officer, volunteer service and other unique activities that distinguish an exceptional student.

Way to Go Ben!
