I have a question on one of the primary essays: Please describe your exposure to osteopathic medicine, including (but not limited to) experiences with physicians in primary care or rural practice within the U.S. How have these experiences impacted you and your pursuit of osteopathic medical education as it relates to the mission of Des Moines University?
I have rural primary care experience internationally through a mission trip and regular volunteering in my native country, but not in the US. Should I just speak to those and how they have shaped my interest in osteopathic medicine and rural+primary care? I'm a little worried. COVID really halted my plans significantly for shadowing a primary care DO.
