National Membership
National Membership is different from local membership. It is an added honor that carries additional benefits and additional requirements. More info here.
Requirements
- Membership is open to students currently enrolled in chosen health professions, including careers in medicine (allopathic and osteopathic), dentistry, optometry, podiatry, veterinary medicine, and other health care professions requiring post-baccalaureate study leading to an advanced degree.
- Potential members must have completed at least 3 semesters or 5 quarters of health preprofessional studies work with an overall cumulative GPA of at least 3.30 on a 4.0 scale (A = 4.00) and also with a cumulative GPA of 3.30 in the sciences – biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics.
- Potential members who meet the GPA and are transferring from one school to one with an active chapter will be eligible for membership after completing one semester or two quarters at the new school. The grade point averages used to determine scholastic eligibility at the new school will be determined by averaging all grades from both old and new schools.
Benefits
Once inducted into Alpha Epsilon Delta (nationally), you are eligible to wear the graduation regalia, apply for Alpha Epsilon Delta scholarships, attend the Alpha Epsilon Delta national convention (held biennially), and submit articles for publication in The Scalpel (the journal of Alpha Epsilon Delta).
Email aed@colorado.edu if you would like to pursue national membership. We send national membership applications as a chapter at the end of each semester.
