This year’s multi-college of osteopathic medicine recruitment calendar was developed in collaboration with the newly formed COMAO advisory committee, with additional feedback from other admission officers. While each of the fall recruitment events will target prime recruitment locations, their larger goal is to increase awareness of all of the colleges of osteopathic medicine among prospective applicants.
Pre-health advisors from the recruitment event hosting campuses have indicated that their students are showing greater interest in and submitting more applications to osteopathic medical colleges then in the past. They are looking forward to hosting the events and to having their students meet the admission officers one-on-one!
Please visit our Recruitment Events calendar for more specifics on each of these events.
