Alpha Epsilon Delta, The National Health Preprofessional Honor Society
Academic
Alpha Epsilon Delta (AED) is the National Health Preprofessional Honor Society dedicated to encouraging and recognizing excellence in preprofessional health scholarship. Our Chapter here at Northeastern includes undergraduate students on the pre-med, pre-PA, pre-vet, pre-PT, and pre-dental tracks. We also have members who are interested in pursuing careers in research. Our biweekly chapter meetings consist of various activities, including focused discussions, student panels, and guest speakers' lectures. Last semester, members also had the opportunity to attend CPR lessons, suture clinics and participate in club sponsored volunteer activities. Timeline:Applications will be sent out in both the Fall and Spring semesters for an Induction in November and January. If you have any questions, please email us at northeatsernaed@gmail.com. Thank you for your interest!
