Two UW-Madison school of Medicine and Public Health professors have been admitted to the national medical honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha.
Alpha Omega Alpha, founded in 1902, recognizes medical students' and physicians' commitment to scholarship, leadership, professionalism and service.
Dr. John Harting and Dr. Cynthia Haq will be inaugurated Nov. 12 at the Health Sciences Learning Center.
Harting, an anatomy professor, became a UW-Madison faculty member in 1973 and has written numerous books about comparative neuroanatomy.
Harting obtained his Ph.D. from Ohio State University.
Haq, who joined the UW-Madison faculty in 1989, is a professor of family medicine and population sciences.
Haq, an Indiana University medical school graduate, is director of the UW-Madison Center for Global Health. She is also the director of training in Urban Medicine and Public Health, a program that serves medical students who are committed to serving urban populations to reduce health disparities.
Approximately 3,000 people are selected for the society every year and there are 120 chapters across the U.S.
