Alignment with Mission, Values, and Learning Environment
We’re considering more than just grades and MCAT scores. The experiences you have serving the community, leading a team or project, working in a clinical setting, practicing whole health principles, and/or conducting research help us understand how you align with AWSOM’s mission, values, and learning environment. Applicants who are most successful in our process demonstrate empathy, self-care, humanism, an entrepreneurial spirit, collaboration, and a community focus. If your journey has been nontraditional, we want to hear about it, too. Every path adds to the AWSOM community.

Primary applications are received through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
