Med school recognizes honorary inductees

HUNTINGTON -- Five third-year medical students and five residents, faculty members and alumni with the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine are being inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha, the nation's medical honorary.

The inductees were selected based on academic achievements and contributions to medicine.

"This is a significant honor for everyone," said Dr. Marie Veitia, associate dean of Student Affairs. "Scholastic achievement is one of the top criteria for nomination, but other areas, including leadership qualities, ethical standards, and service to school and community also figure prominently in the selection process."

The student inductees are Saqib R. Ahmed, Zubair A. Ansari, Joshua F. Hendrix, Sammy Hodroge and Kimberly N. Weaver.

The other inductees are Dr. Farouk H. Abadir, Department of Anesthesiology at Cabell Huntington Hospital; Dr. Whitney A. Boggs, Department of Family Medicine; Dr. Felix H. Cheung, Department of Orthopaedics; Dr. Gary D. Cremeans, class of 1996; and Dr. David D. Francke, Department of Internal Medicine.
