What We Do

AED CrestAlpha Epsilon Delta is a pre-health honors society that is a Beta chapter of the national AED here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.  At our general bi-weekly meetings we have a variety of physician speakers and other pre-health related speakers to advance you in your undergraduate career. We host volunteer events to help you get involved in the Madison community, Public Relations events to learn how to manage life as a pre-health student, and social events to blow off steam from our crazy, busy schedules and spend time with other pre-health students!

While there are many pre-health orgs on campus, ours is unique in that we have a partnership with the UW Surgery Department that allows our active members to shadow in surgery (check it out here:  https://alphaepsilondeltablog.wordpress.com/surgery-shadowing-program/). Other events we offer is the phlebotomy and CPR courses, which are highly valuable to a pre-health student. Additionally, many of us have volunteered at one of Madison’s three hospitals, so we are more than able to help you find a volunteering position.

How to Become a Member

Our organization works on a points system. In order to be considered an “Active“ member, each semester a member has to earn 50 points and there are a variety of ways to do that.   Other levels of membership include “Not Active“ (earning less than 50 points per semester) and “Gold“ (earning at least 60 points per semester). Points are easy to learn as long as you participate, we offer many opportunities.

In order to provide opportunities for our members, we ask that dues are $25 per year or $20 per semester. Paying a full year’s dues in the fall semester will entitle you to 25 points at the beginning of both the fall and spring semester and allows us to provide events for the members.

There are two levels of membership.  Any pre-health student can become a Local member simply be attending meetings and events, and joining the email list. Second semester sophomores and above are eligible for National membership if they meet the following criteria: Has a 3.2 Science and overall GPA, has been an active member at least one semester, completes the national membership form, pays a one-time fee of $75 to Alpha Epsilon Delta, and attends the national initiation banquet.

Ultimately, our goal is to see our members accepted to a professional school, and our role is facilitating that process and shaping our members to be competitive applicants.  We welcome all that are interested in health and look forward to making connections with our fellow Badgers!
