Hey @alllpallll
I'm here in Virginia Beach as well and I have a question for you. Have you heard anything about the contemporary human anatomy masters offered by EVMS. SDN doesn't offer any information on it that i can find.
As for your question, i'd look into a number of things including what school you want to attend for medical school, matriculation rates, location, and cost. Let's work backwards..
Liberty (osteopathic), Assuming MS biomedical science
notable differences. Two years vs one and the cost associated. (23k/yr vs 25k/yr x 2). Location. MD vs DO
just a bump on my question at the beginning of the post.

Liberty (osteopathic), Assuming MS biomedical science
- 2017-2018 Tuition: $605 per credit hour (~$23,000)
- Lynchburg, VA (cost of living is lower, but also much less to do)
- Doesn't offer matriculation rates readily online or info on post completion interview ( I inquired about info and will update upon a response)
- 1 year program. You should be studying for the mcat now so you can take it early and apply this cycle 2017-2018 to avoid a glide year
- $52,937 for both years
- Norfolk,VA (excluding Ghent the cost of living is lower than va beach and plenty to do even if you commute)
- 88% of the Class of 2015 has been accepted into either a MD or DO school. (One Pharmacy School Acceptance as well). 78% of the Class of 2016 has been accepted into either a MD or DO school. The site also says every student from 2014-2016 classes have been given an interview at EVMS.
- 2 year program, includes MCAT preperation, Shadowing, and interview skills.

I haven't heard anything about that other master's program you mentioned.

Have you decided on which you're picking? I was accepted to the Liberty program as well.
Have you heard anything about the contemporary human anatomy program? I was recently accepted and was wondering if anyone else had any information on the program or students getting into any health professional school after the program. I can't find a thread about the program on here and since it's still new there's not much information on the school's website about student success.
If I'm not incorrect, I think CHAP was just established and its first class just graduated. I am (or should I say was, as we have recently graduated) a 1-year medical master and we got to learn from the CHAP students since their program begins in the summer and they have a crash-course of anatomy. I don't know if they end up learning anatomy to the same depth as we do, but they learn it in a very short amount of time and become well-versed enough to help us with identifying structures. They focus less on conceptual material that is found in M1/MM1 anatomy, however. CHAP students are TAs and tutors (making $) for the med masters though.
It is my understanding that the program is very intensive in the beginning; I know that there are multiple dissections a week on a donor and these can consume many summer hours. Afterwards, you take some medical school classes with current M1s and med masters during the fall, but I don't think that's the case for the second semester.
Anyways, I know it is not the desire of some of the CHAP students to become a physician. I know at least one pre-PA one, and there are a few attempting to enter medical school but I don't know of any CHAP students that have been accepted into EVMS (yet, anyways). If you're looking for linkage into EVMS MD program, I would go for the 1 year med masters program. However, the program is changing every year and I would reach out and speak to the medical masters staff and director (they are super, super nice!) about any questions you have.
