Lincoln Memorial University-DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMU-DCOM) has partnered with Tusculum University to create a conditional guaranteed interview pathway for undergraduate students aspiring to become osteopathic physicians. This partnership strengthens the pipeline for students in East Tennessee to pursue medical education and serve in health care.
Tusculum University’s commitment to service-oriented learning and personalized education makes it an excellent fit for LMU-DCOM’s mission to train future physicians. The pathway agreement ensures that eligible students receive a guaranteed interview with LMU-DCOM’s admissions committee. To be eligible, students must meet GPA, MCAT and prerequisite coursework requirements.
In addition to academic preparation, Tusculum students will have the opportunity to participate in pre-medical mentorship, clinical experiences and osteopathic medical education programs. These experiences provide a valuable foundation for students entering the competitive field of medicine.
"We are excited to welcome Tusculum University students into this pathway to medical school," said Dr. Christopher Loyke, dean and chief academic officer of LMU-DCOM. "By working together, we can support the next generation of osteopathic physicians and improve health care access in our region."
The DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine is located on the campus of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee, and at LMU-Knoxville in Knoxville, Tennessee. LMU-DCOM is an integral part of LMU’s values-based learning community and is dedicated to preparing the next generation of osteopathic physicians to provide health care in the often-underserved region of Appalachia and beyond.
