Alpha Omega Alpha currently has active chapters in 132 LCME-accredited medical schools in the United States and Lebanon. It annually elects over 4,000 new members. The majority of these individuals are chosen in their final year of medical school, though the society also inducts distinguished teachers, faculty members, residents, and alumni. Local chapters hold all elections, and the society does not hold any national elections.
