The Go D.O. Early Scholars Program is a unique partnership between West Virginia Wesleyan College (WVWC) and the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM). This program offers qualifying WVWC students a guaranteed acceptance into WVSOM upon successful completion of their undergraduate program requirements and interview, with a waived MCAT exam. This initiative is designed for students passionate about pursuing a career in osteopathic medicine, particularly those interested in serving underserved areas and addressing health disparities. The program allows students to focus more on their academic studies, community service, clinical volunteering, and research, rather than solely on MCAT preparation. WVWC, a private liberal arts and sciences college founded in 1890, is located in Buckhannon, West Virginia. It offers a strong academic environment with nearly 60 majors and 40 minors, and a tradition of excellence, including a strong affiliation with the United Methodist Church.
This program is specifically designed for students aspiring to become primary care physicians, with a particular emphasis on serving rural and underserved communities. Graduates are well-prepared to enter medical school and contribute to addressing healthcare needs.
Students must meet the specified SAT/ACT and GPA requirements to qualify for the Go D.O. Early Scholars Program.
