UC Participating in WVSOM Pathway Program

For students interested in pursuing a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree, UC is now the place to start. UC is one of ten West Virginia schools partnering with the WV School of Osteopathic Medicine in its Pre-Osteopathic Medicine Program (POMP).

The program provides a pathway for students that successfully complete program requirements to receive a guaranteed acceptance to WVSOM. It also offers participating students the opportunity to network with medical students and professionals, have shadowing opportunities, and improve their knowledge of osteopathic medicine. Students in the program are assigned a faculty mentor to monitor their progress and answer questions.

To earn their guaranteed seat at WVSOM, students are required to graduate with a bachelor’s degree, maintain a 3.4 science GPA, score a 500 on the MCAT by their senior year, among other requirements.  If these and other criteria are met, they will have a seat waiting on them at the WV School of Osteopathic Medicine.
