The Pharos - The Journal of Alpha Omega Alpha


An accomplished addiction-medicine physician in Rochester, New York, Kathleen Whaley, MD, completed medical school at Indiana University (IU) in Bloomington. While enrolled at IU, Dr. Kathleen Whaley gained admittance to the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha national honor society.

For more than 115 years, Alpha Omega Alpha has been dedicated to furthering the medical profession and improving patient care by honoring exceptional educational achievement and teaching, encouraging medical leadership, and promoting clinical service to others. The organization furthers these goals through its quarterly journal, The Pharos.

In publication since 1938, The Pharos borrows its name from the Pharos Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and a symbol for the guiding light of knowledge. This journal releases scholarly essays on non-technical medical subjects that range from the ethics of patient treatment to the history of healthcare. It also publishes topic-appropriate poems and other examples of medical-related literature.
