The Omega Beta Iota (OBI) Spring Induction Ceremony is a signature student leadership event held annually during DO Day. The ceremony formally recognizes and inducts outstanding osteopathic medical students into OBI, the national osteopathic student honors society.

Ernest Hemingway Salon 2

Arlington, Virginia
The ceremony is not only a recognition event but also a symbolic transition point, where students are formally welcomed into a national leadership community and encouraged to view advocacy as a core professional responsibility.
It serves as a celebration of the next generation of osteopathic leaders, a formal charge to engage in advocacy and public service, and a bridge between student achievement and lifelong involvement in AOA and Osteopathic Political Action Committee (OPAC) priorities, including a commitment to supporting OPAC and its mission to advance the osteopathic profession through federal advocacy.
As such, it represents one of the strongest student-facing moments of DO Day and a strategic investment in the future leadership of the profession.
OBI is the national honors society for osteopathic medical students, recognizing individuals who demonstrate excellence in leadership, service, scholarship and advocacy. Membership in OBI reflects a commitment to professional values and engagement in organized osteopathic medicine, with a strong emphasis on advocacy and public service.
The OBI Spring Induction Ceremony serves as a key pipeline moment for future physician leaders and advocates by:
