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
OSU-COM requires AACOMAS, official transcripts, a supplemental application and letters. The official requirements page lists a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA, 2.75 pre-professional science GPA and 492 MCAT; MCAT scores must be within three years of the AACOMAS deadline. Non-U.S. citizens without permanent-resident status cannot be considered, and preference is given to Oklahoma applicants. Foreign coursework requires a US evaluation.

Important dates
The current OSU-COM application page lists annual timing: begin by June 1 before planned matriculation; AACOMAS processing begins June 15; AACOMAS deadline February 28; supplemental deadline March 30; and rolling review is encouraged. The page does not print a Fall 2027 year label, so confirm dates in the live cycle. Source: https://medicine.okstate.edu/com/admissions/how-to-apply
How selection works
OSU-COM reviews complete AACOMAS and supplemental files on a rolling basis and lets applicants indicate Tulsa/Center for Health Sciences or Cherokee Nation campus preference. The official pages emphasize Oklahoma preference but do not publish a detailed interview scoring formula. Source: https://medicine.okstate.edu/com/admissions/how-to-apply
Interview details
Confirmed
The official application pages confirm that MCAT scores must be on file before an interview is granted. They do not publish a current interview modality, duration, station count, scoring rubric or question list. Source: https://medicine.okstate.edu/com/admissions/how-to-apply
Not published
Do not infer an MMI, panel format or campus-specific interview schedule without a current invitation.
Who this program may suit
OSU-COM may fit applicants who can connect osteopathic medicine to Oklahoma communities, rural or underserved care, and a clear campus preference. Tulsa and Cherokee Nation are scope choices, not separate degrees. Source: https://medicine.okstate.edu/com/admissions
Practice and next step
First practice: Use the linked general ethics prompt to practise a concise answer about serving an underserved community. Record a timed spoken answer, review feedback tied to the recording, choose one weakness, adjust the answer, record it again, and compare both attempts. This is general practice, not an OSU-COM question.
