Duquesne's mission is written in Spiritan Catholic terms: training physicians who serve God in the Spiritan tradition by caring for all people in all communities, including underserved urban and rural Western Pennsylvania, and addressing healthcare disparities among them. The Spiritan charism centres on those on the margins, the poor, migrants and refugees, so service with those specific populations reads as direct mission alignment. Interviews emphasise alignment with that mission, commitment to underserved Pittsburgh communities and osteopathic philosophy, and students complete extensive community engagement projects.

Watch out: Hard GPA floors apply across all three measures, 3.2 science, 3.2 non-science and 3.2 overall. An applicant with no underserved-community service, or uncomfortable in a faith-founded institution, is a poor fit against a mission stated in explicitly religious language.
