Why AED?

Alpha Epsilon Delta encourages excellence in pre-health scholarship through professional development, fellowship, service and philanthropy.

Professional Development

Gain clinical experience by volunteering at local clinics in the Columbia area, such as the Free Medical Clinic. Join fellow AED members at our various opportunities to connect with professionals in your respective tracks.

Fellowship

Take a break and relax from the stresses of school and join us at one of our movie nights or mingles, tour professional schools with us, or join us for one of our many other social events.

Service

Help us serve our local community through our multitude of service opportunities. We partner with many local organizations to provide our members with a well rounded volunteer experience. Some of our partnerships include Harvest Hope, Transitions Homeless Center, and the DJJ.

Philanthropy

Give back to the community by fundraising and put your money where the miracles are. AED partners with USC Dance Marathon as we focus on raising money for the Children's Miracle Network so we can help make miracles happen.
