Hi everyone! I’m an inaugural class student going into my second year at BUCOM this fall! I will be around and try to answer questions here best that I can! Feel free to message me if you have questions that may be more specific to your own situation!

Hi, how has your experience been thus far? I know Baptist is new but the Baptist name must be taking it far right? I am quite interested since I have family near Memphis and shadowed a doctor there even, so hoping that helps show my commitment to the location.
 
I got an email stating I received a secondary, but how do you access the secondary on their website?
 
When I first got the link, there was no supplemental application tab, but it looks like it's been updated. These are the following prompts:
1. BUCOM shares the values of our larger learning community at Baptist Health Sciences University such as integrity, professionalism, continuous improvement, and service as an expression of our Christian values. We foster a Christian environment where servant leadership is modeled in all aspects of learning, teaching, service, and business. Describe what it means to be a servant leader, and specifically how it connects to your decision to become an osteopathic physician. (250 words)
2. Please describe your experience working or volunteering in the healthcare sector. Provide details of the work you did as well as any direct patient encounters you had that were particularly meaningful. (250)
3. Describe the town or city where you spent the majority of your K-12 years including the general population size and make-up. Please include the closest major metropolitan city and how far away it is. (250)

It has been great! Faculty has been awesome and they have taken a lot of feedback from our class to improve processes for incoming classes which will only be a benefit if you attend here. Having the Baptist system is a huge plus and it's great having mentors from the Baptist residencies over our student interest groups too!

What was the turnaround time between submitting your application and secondary received?
