How selection works

Applicants access South Georgia through the PCOM AACOMAS application and choose Philadelphia, PCOM South Georgia or both. One $75 institutional fee covers PCOM and/or South Georgia. Although requirements and process are shared, an individual Faculty Committee evaluates each location-specific application. DO application requirements

PCOM uses holistic review. It considers grades and MCAT alongside research, clinical exposure, leadership, extracurricular activities, community involvement, motivation for medicine, recommendations and autobiographical statements. Qualified applicants receive rolling invitations from the South Georgia admissions office. DO application requirements

The school publishes no numerical selection weights, GPA or MCAT cutoff, method for coordinating decisions when both Philadelphia and South Georgia are selected, interview scoring or weight, committee-vote rule or final score-combination method.

The current page does not publish the number of interviews, one-to-one, panel or MMI structure, duration, interviewer roles, file access, question categories, preparation time, scoring rubric, weights, assessor calibration, committee-vote mechanics or final score-combination method.

Who this program may suit

PCOM South Georgia is an additional location in Moultrie established in 2019 to address regional medical-education and long-term health needs. Its 75,000-square-foot facility includes anatomy and OMM laboratories, a simulation center and small-group spaces. The DO program emphasizes interactive instruction, whole-person osteopathic care and service to Georgia and the Southeast. PCOM South Georgia South Georgia DO program

Applicants should be prepared to connect a specific experience to rural or regional access, collaborative learning and community service. Location choice and the individual Faculty Committee support a campus-specific page, while the admissions requirements remain shared with PCOM.

Practice and next step

Record one response to the featured prompt. Use a specific clinical, service or leadership example to show what you observed, how you acted, what you learned about the person's wider context and why it matters for care in South Georgia or the Southeast.

Review whether the answer demonstrates empathy, resilience, clinical understanding and a grounded reason for Moultrie. Record it again with one improvement, then compare both attempts. Practise for both conversational and structured delivery because PCOM publishes modality choice but not interview structure.
