Clinical exposure plus a genuine record of service in rural or underserved settings, and demonstrated exposure to osteopathic medicine and its practitioners, which the school lists among the factors it weighs. LMU-DCOM's mission is placing primary care physicians in Appalachia, and it is among the nation's largest producers of osteopathic primary care physicians in rural and underserved areas.

Watch out: No DO shadowing or osteopathic exposure is a specific, named gap here. A research-weighted file with little service or clinical contact is poorly matched to a primary-care placement mission.
