Welcome to the official website for the University of Pennsylvania's eMed Club. eMED is an engineering club for pre-med students and for engineers who are interested in the medical field. We hold events to share advice about the pre-med experience and to learn more about the medical profession.

Our club was founded in 2006 by an engineer who realized that there was a growing number of engineers who wished to enter into the medical field, yet no club to help them through the process. Thus, eMed was born. Since then, we have since then hosted numerous events geared towards helping all pre-med engineers with their path to medical school.
