Honoraries

Galens benefits tremendously from the active participation of our faculty honoraries, who are elected each year by the Galens membership. The respected physicians and professors chosen as honoraries are central to Galens' mission to encourage cooperation and understanding between the faculty and student body. As such, Galens honoraries serve as advisors, mentors, and (through sometimes-questionable jokes) entertainers at all Galens functions. Most faculty honoraries serve two-year terms, although some are elected to the illustrious position of permanent honorary. They are always happy to be contacted by any Galens member with questions about medicine or life in general.
