like-minded individuals working toward the common goal of providing equitable and adequate healthcare to those in need. AED also has a lot to offer when it comes to networking with both peers but also healthcare providers themselves when they come to speak at meetings, and the plethora of opportunities allows for both personal development, growth, and team-building skills. AED has really allowed me to open up and meet my closest friends all while building a supportive community! I am so excited for the upcoming year and look forward to furthering the development and potential that AED has to offer!"

I joined AED because..."it was inspiring to meet many motivated people in the pre-health field. This encouraged me to work harder towards my goals and, more importantly, to learn and grow from others who operate at a higher level than myself. AED offers exposure to a wide range of career paths in the healthcare field, which was helpful for me in narrowing down what I wanted to pursue. My best advice is to embrace discomfort, as this environment is perfect for pushing yourself and making the most of your time here at Penn State."
