Marian is explicitly Catholic and Franciscan and frames its purpose as preparing osteopathic physicians committed to the complete healing of body, mind and spirit — an applicant comfortable articulating a values-based view of medicine fits far better here than one who treats mission language as boilerplate. The school says it seeks candidates who have excelled in and out of the classroom, exhibited the non-cognitive competencies needed to work with patients and teams, and demonstrated commitment to osteopathic philosophy, and it evaluates all skills, attitudes and attributes case by case. The curriculum measures competency in osteopathic clinical skills and in service-learning across community and underserved populations.
Watch out: No service-learning or underserved work misses what the curriculum itself is built to measure. Admission is conditional on meeting published technical standards. An applicant uncomfortable in a faith-based institution is a poor fit regardless of metrics.
