All of our members are united by one common goal: becoming a medical doctor. Nevertheless, PhiDE draws from a variety of backgrounds that makes each of our members unique. In our fraternity, you will find members from all over the country, representing a number of different cultures. Beyond demographical differences, our members come from diverse educational backgrounds, including Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, and LSA. While our end goal may be the same, our members take various routes to medical school. In fact, many of our brothers and sisters elect to take gap years to pursue their individual passions on their path to becoming physicians. Recognizing the range of our members' professional goals, we offer a wide breadth of programs, including cultural events, chapter meeting speakers, and service opportunities.
