Student Organization

Where engineering meets the path to medicine.

EPHSO connects engineering students pursuing careers in healthcare — building the skills, community, and experience to bridge technology and patient care.

About Us

A community for engineers headed into healthcare.

EPHSO supports engineering students preparing for medical, dental, pharmacy, and other health professional schools.

We exist for students who love building and problem-solving but feel called to medicine. Through workshops, shadowing opportunities, MCAT prep, research connections, and a network of peers and mentors, we help members navigate the demanding journey from an engineering curriculum to a career in health. Whether you're a first-year exploring your options or a senior finalizing applications, you'll find guidance and community here.
