Com Admissions FAQ
Start with a primary/central application through the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) Application Service (AACOMAS) at www.aacom.org. The AACOMAS deadline is February 1. Candidates are encouraged to apply early.
成人直播 COM requires a minimum of three letters of recommendation. From these letters, we seek a holistic description of the applicant including information on engagement as a student (especially teamwork within academic settings), interpersonal skills, character, and professionalism. Recommended sources include:
- Pre-health committee letter
- Pre-health advisor letter
- Faculty members with substantial knowledge of the applicant
- Direct supervisor with substantial knowledge of the applicant
- Health Care Professionals with substantial knowledge of the applicant, preferably physicians
- A letter from an Osteopathic Physician (D.O.) is recommended but not required.
View additional details about how to submit letters of recommendation.
成人直播 COM will only accept credits from a school accredited by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) or the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) where the student is eligible for readmission. Per COCA, the last two years of education must be completed at the COM granting the degree. Therefore, transfer candidates interested in transferring to 成人直播 COM are only considered at the end of their second year of medical education.
The 成人直播 COM Transfer Application opens in February.

Yes and yes. As a private institution, there are no targets/quotas for Maine and/or New England students. 成人直播 COM generally enrolls about 50% of our students from the New England area, which is a direct reflection of our applicant pool. However, we have geographic representation from 30+ states and countries across all four years.
As a private institution, there are no limits on accepting students from outside of the U.S. If higher education is completed in the U.S., there are no extra application steps. If any of the higher education credit is completed outside of the U.S., the applicant will need to have their coursework evaluated by the World Education Services (WES) prior to completing the AACOMAS application. International students are evaluated by the same criteria as all applicants. The only difference for international students is at the time of acceptance. International students are initially offered a conditional acceptance pending documentation of adequate funding for all four years (as they are not eligible for U.S. federal loan programs).
成人直播 COM is accredited for 200 students per class year per COCA. For the Class of 2030, the average age (at the time of application) was 24.3 years old and the age range was 20鈥47 years old. The Class of 2030 is 66% female and 34% male.

Third-year rotations are at Clinical Core Sites and Private Practices throughout the Northeast. Students select their third-year site through a Clinical Core Site Assignment Process (C-CAP). Clinical Core Sites are spread throughout Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Each student will complete the following rotations: internal medicine (12 weeks), family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, surgery (6 weeks each), and community health (4 weeks). Students will also have a two-week elective during their third year. As an additional option, Third-Year students can apply for the Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship. A longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) is an alternate way of organizing the third-year clinical experience. Rather than rotating through six-week blocks, LIC students are embedded with a rural primary care clinic for the year. They build deeper relationships with their preceptors and develop a patient panel of their own. Students follow their patients into specialist care; they also participate in one-week rotations in specialist areas throughout the year.
Fourth-year selectives (16 weeks) and electives (18 weeks) can be completed at locations throughout the U.S., and outside the country, at hospitals and/or clinics of the student's choice. Selectives include four weeks of internal medicine sub-specialty, four weeks of surgery sub-specialty, four weeks of emergency medicine, four weeks of osteopathic manipulative medicine. Selective rotations must be completed inside the United States. All elective/selective sites must be approved in advance by the Office of Clinical Education.
