Admissions
Welcome to Alice L. Walton School of Medicine, where medical education meets compassion, innovation, and purpose.
AWSOM Admissions
Choosing a medical school is more than an academic decision; it’s the beginning of a journey that shapes the kind of physician you’ll become. At AWSOM, we are reimagining medical education to prepare you not only to excel in science and clinical practice, but also to lead with empathy, think creatively, and champion the well-being of the communities you serve.
You’ll learn in a state-of-the-art medical education facility in Bentonville, Arkansas, at the heart of a region celebrated for its vibrant arts scene, outdoor lifestyle, and entrepreneurial spirit.
We encourage you to learn more about the unique qualities and our focus on student wellness and success.
