Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society announced its first-ever recipients of its Award for Excellence in Inclusion, Diversity and Equity in Medical Education and Patient Care. The Bayview Internal Medicine Residency Program was recognized for its deliberate and thoughtful approach to improving the recruitment of students underrepresented in medicine, which has resulted in the most diverse class of interns in the programs history the past two years and more than any residency program within the school.
This award, established earlier this year, recognizes medical schools (and their associated AΩA Chapter) that demonstrate exemplary leadership, innovation and engagement in fostering an inclusive culture that transforms the ideals of inclusion, diversity and equity into successful programs that support medical student, house staff and faculty diversity in service to the community.
