Admissions

Medical school is an intense journey, but it’s also incredibly rewarding for students like yourself who are caring, compassionate and capable. At St. Matthew’s University School of Medicine (SMUSOM), we understand the demanding nature of embarking on this journey, and we are here to support you every step of the way. We’re here to assist you with the application process and help you smoothly transition into our community.

Flexible Start Dates Throughout the Year

St. Matthew’s University School of Medicine offers three entry points throughout the year, with classes beginning in September, January and May. Applications are accepted year-round, and students are admitted on a rolling basis, giving you the flexibility to choose the start date that works best for you.

Review Process

The Admissions Committee selects students who exhibit the potential to flourish in a medical school environment and execute the duties of a medical doctor successfully. If the student’s credentials meet the admissions criteria, the candidate will be interviewed in-person or by video conference before a final decision is made.

It is the applicant’s responsibility to make sure their application is complete. Applicants should submit materials as early as possible to ensure that a timely decision can be rendered.
