The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) has compiled resources for prospective applicants in their COVID-19 Resource page. Please note that this page is being continuously updated in real time. They intend for this web-page to be home to all admissions requirement changes due to COVID-19 at each of the Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine.
So far, there has been one change to the application. AACOM has added a question to the 2020-2021 AACOMAS Application prompting applicants to describe how COVID-19 has impacted their pathway to medical school. The question is open ended and allows applicants up to 2500 characters for them to describe any academic, personal, financial or professional barriers that COVID-19 may have presented for them.
Prospective applicants are also encouraged to check out the blog posts linked below, from the perspective of a current medical student and a current physician:
- Blog post: a 4th Year Medical Student's response to COVID-19
- Blog Post: a current physician's response to COVID - 19 & a reminder to future physicians
