Clinic appointment access and fairness
Practise making a fair decision when access is limited. Review whether you identify missing information, weigh both patients' needs, and explain the next step clearly; then record the scenario again with one improvement.

Admission requirements
AZCOM lists a bachelor’s degree, minimum total and science GPA of 2.75, MCAT results, and two professional letters. The program page links the current university catalog for complete application and prerequisite rules. WICHE PSEP information is separate context and should not be treated as an admissions requirement. Confirm the current catalog and AACOMAS instructions before applying (AZCOM program page).
Important dates
The current AZCOM page links a 2026–27 catalog and AACOMAS but does not publish a year-labelled Fall 2027 deadline table. Treat the dates in the live catalog and applicant portal as controlling; do not turn annual AACOMAS timing into a school-specific promise (Midwestern DO programs).
How selection works
The public program page identifies the academic, testing, letter, and AACOMAS components of the application. It does not publish a current weighting formula, interview scorecard, or acceptance prediction. Use the linked catalog and admissions instructions for the cycle-specific process (AZCOM program page).
Interview details
Confirmed
The current AZCOM admissions page directs applicants to the live admissions process and catalog; the public page reviewed does not publish a Fall 2027 interview format or schedule (AZCOM admissions).
Not published
Station count, duration, modality, scoring, interviewer assignment, and a current question list are not published.
Who this program may suit
AZCOM’s public program information may suit applicants who want a Glendale-based, in-person DO program and can document academic preparation, service, communication, and professional references. These are preparation considerations, not a prediction of admission (AZCOM overview).
Practice and next step
First practice: Record a timed response to the linked general fairness prompt, review the structure, empathy, and trade-off in the answer, choose one weakness, adjust the response, record it again, and compare both attempts before deciding what to practise next.
