About Us

AED Professional

Being a pre-professional honor society, we want to help members succeed in their professional careers by preparing them for the path to graduate school and beyond.

We offer help sessions, led by AED members and graduate school students, broken down by section for the GRE, MCAT, and DAT. We also offer workshops for interviews, email etiquette, resumes, etc. to properly prepare members for graduate school or internship interviews. We partner with many graduate schools, such as the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, UofSC Doctorate of Physical Therapy and Speech Language Pathology Department, and more for tours and information sessions to keep members thinking about their graduate school options.

From gaining and refining your professional skills, to building your network of healthcare professionals, graduate schools, and current graduate students, AED has a multitude of opportunities to aid in your growth as a student and future healthcare professional.
