The Osteopathic Medicine Cooperative Program
The “3-4” Early Admission Partners Program in Osteopathic Medicine
This program enables pre-med students to apply to Kansas City University
of Medicine and Biosciences (KCUMB) in the fall of the sophomore year.
If accepted, they may complete all CMU general education requirements
for the program in three years. During the summer after the sophomore
year, the student must complete a five-day med-prep course at KCUMB. The
MCAT, normally required for admission to KCUMB, is not required of
students applying through our Partners Program. Students matriculate at
KCUMB as full-time first-year students following their third year at
CMU. They receive their bachelor’s degree from CMU following successful
completion of their first-year at KCUMB. Alternatively, students may
complete all requirements for graduation from CMU in the three years
prior to matriculating at KCUMB. Please consult
Dr.
Dan Elliott, Professor of Biology, for further information.
