Twenty-six incoming freshmen have been accepted into the Yours to Lose – Advanced Medical School Acceptance Program, which will launch its first cohort at the start of Missouri Southern State University’s Fall 2017 semester.
An exclusive, one-of-a-kind partnership with the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, the program allows a cohort of Missouri Southern students to be admitted to KCU’s new Joplin medical school at the same time they are accepted to MSSU. As pre-med students, they will obtain their bachelor’s degree in biology during an accelerated, three-year course of study before seamlessly transitioning into their first year of medical school. The program will not require them to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).
“I was extremely impressed with the caliber to students who applied to be a part of the first Yours to Lose cohort, and I know that the selection process undertaken to narrow that field down to just 26 was a difficult one,” said Dr. Alan Marble, president of Missouri Southern. “This program opens an exciting new chapter at Missouri Southern, and we’re committed to working side by side with KCU to identify and develop future generations of physicians.”
