Alpha Omega Alpha, founded in 1902, is the national medical honor society. Election to Alpha Omega Alpha is an honor signifying a lasting commitment to professionalism, leadership, scholarship, research, and community service. A lifelong honor, membership in the society confers recognition for a physician's dedication to the profession and art of healing.

The first installation ceremony was held on June 4, 1968 in the Basic Medical Science Building, now known as Fitz Hall. Four students were elected to AOA in that ceremony. Dr. Reginald Fitz, the Dean of the Medical School, presided over the program. Over 650 UNM students, residents, and faculty have been elected to AOA since then.
