Service to medically underserved communities, with South Texas ties and Spanish-language ability as real assets given San Antonio's demographics. UIWSOM's mission flows from the founding call of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word to extend a healing ministry, so it is openly faith-rooted, and it emphasises expanding healthcare access to communities in need in a region where a large share of Texas's medically underserved population lives.

Watch out: An applicant with no underserved-community service, or who would be uncomfortable in an explicitly faith-founded institution, is a weaker fit regardless of metrics. UIWSOM does not publish differential selection criteria, so these weights reflect stated mission emphasis rather than a scoring formula.
