In episode 49, we speak with admission officer Alyssa Montgomery from UND School of Medicine about UND as a state sponsored medical school and what in means for a Minnesota resident to have strong ties to the state. We also talk about the unique skill set that UND admission committee is looking for to serve the patients and population in rural and Native American communities in North Dakota.
One of the unique features of UND is it does not have any prerequisite required courses! But...it does still require the MCAT. The interview process becomes very important to the evaluation process and Montgomery shares about their interview process and what a standout applicant looks like. Besides UND being ranked #1 in the nation for graduating American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) physicians, there are many other unique highlights shared about the School of Medicine in this podcast.
