Frostburg State University and Western Atlantic University School of Medicine have partnered to create a new pathway to medical school.
Under the agreement, qualified FSU pre-med students in the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences track who meet defined GPA and MCAT benchmarks and complete WAUSM's standard application process will be eligible for conditional admission. WAUSM will reserve a minimum of five admission slots each year for FSU students, and any qualifying graduate is guaranteed an interview.
It's FSU's first pathway agreement to a Doctor of Medicine program, adding to the university's existing routes to osteopathic, dental, podiatric, pharmacy and physician assistant training.
As part of the agreement, WAUSM will hold an annual on-campus information session at FSU to help students prepare competitive applications. Learn more through WAUSM Enrollment Management or FSU's Department of Biology.
