Important dates

KYCOM asks applicants to submit completed applications by March 1 and says rolling review may begin in summer; interviews generally run August through April or until the class is filled. The current page does not label these as Fall 2027 dates. Recheck https://www.upike.edu/osteopathic-medicine/kycom-admissions/application-selection/ before applying.

How selection works

KYCOM reviews complete AACOMAS and supplemental files, MCAT, letters, prerequisites, technical standards and mission fit. Kentucky applicants receive preference, and the mission emphasizes rural Kentucky and Appalachian health needs.

Who this program may suit

KYCOM may fit applicants committed to primary care, rural Kentucky and Appalachian communities, with the prerequisite and recommendation preparation to support that mission. This is source-backed preparation guidance, not a prediction of admission. Source: https://www.upike.edu/osteopathic-medicine/kycom-admissions/

Practice and next step

First practice: Use the linked general ethics prompt to rehearse a rural-primary-care decision with clear empathy and trade-offs. 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 a KYCOM question.
