PhiDE is committed to supporting a new generation of health care professionals and addressing the complex agendas of today’s men and women seeking careers in medicine. The fundamental objectives of the premedical program are to provide the resources and information to assist the undergraduate students in making an informed choice in selecting medicine as a career, deciding which medical school to
attend, and preparing for medical school and the practice of medicine. The base of the Fraternity's structure is the student chapter, where membership originates and friendships are established. The benefits of membership in PhiDE are received through active participation in chapter activities and events. Both Premedical and Medical Chapters host planned activities during the academic year, and students develop the leadership and professional skills, which complement a basic understanding of medical science. When the time comes to apply for medical school and to match for residency, active membership in PhiDE is evidence of that a student is well rounded and motivated. There are also many chapter activities to help relieve the stress of studying. Once you've graduated Medical School, you become a Graduate member and can join one of our numerous graduate chapters. Graduate members provide the mentoring and resources for our student population. Many of our Graduate members host dinners for new PhiDE physicians in the area, provide internships for students and are active in their communities through service and philanthropy.
