Community service plus genuine osteopathic exposure. MSUCOM lists exposure to the osteopathic profession and professional and community service experience among its stated selection criteria, and evaluates accomplishments 'within the context of each applicant's total life experience', which favours applicants whose record shows sustained commitment over polish. The college has more alumni practising in medically underserved areas than the other six Michigan medical schools combined.

Watch out: No DO shadowing or demonstrated understanding of osteopathic philosophy is a named gap. Research strength does not compensate at a school whose stated output is primary care for Michigan.
