There are multiple student organizations at UAH geared toward the various Pre-Health professional fields. 

Getting engaged on campus is a great way to meet new people with similar interests as well as gain experience through various Pre-Health activities and events. All Pre-Health students at UAH are strongly encouraged to get involved in at least one Pre-Health organization on campus to gain insight into their field of interest and to network with peers pursuing similar careers.

 

Alpha Epsilon Delta (AED) functions both as an Honor Society and service organization. This dual role is reflected in the societal structure and chapter activities. The mission of AED is to encourage and recognize excellence in pre-health scholarship; to stimulate an appreciation of the importance of education; to promote communication between undergraduate and professional-school students and educators; to provide a forum for students with common interests; and to use its resources to benefit health organizations, charities and the community.

The UAH Association of Nursing Students is an official constituent chapter of the National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA). With a membership of approximately 56,000 nationwide, the National Student Nurses' Association mentors the professional development of future registered nurses and facilitates their entrance into the profession by providing educational resources, leadership opportunities, and career guidance. All nursing majors, including pre-nursing students, are eligible for membership.

The UAH Biological Society is designed to promote and cultivate higher learning in the biological sciences. Membership introduces students to ways in which they can be involved in the field of study, including exposure to career opportunities, academic and professional speakers, and opportunities to interact with like-minded peers.

The Kinesiology Club is a student-run academic organization. The purpose of the Kinesiology Club is to provide professional development and networking opportunities to students who share a common interest in exercise science and physical education. Students will have the opportunity to connect with professionals in the local area, attend and participate in local/regional conferences and workshops, and become involved with campus initiatives relating to health and fitness.

The Pre-Health Society (PHS) serves all UAH students interested in a Pre-Health field. Their goal is to connect Pre-Health students to one another and to build a stronger Pre-Health community at UAH. PHS prepares Pre-Health student members for success in their pursuit of a professional healthcare career. From student mentorship to outside workshops, PHS can help members build strong professional school applications and get involved in the community so they have the best chance at getting into the professional school of their choice.
