Calling it a “true game-changer” for the region, Missouri Southern State University has offered its congratulations to Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences following today’s ribbon-cutting at the new Joplin campus.
Missouri Southern has partnered with KCU for the exclusive Yours to Lose – Advanced Medical School Acceptance Program. The one-of-a-kind 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).
Missouri Southern recently announced its first cohort of students, which will launch at the start of the Fall 2017 semester.
“The new KCU medical school is a true game-changer for not only the Joplin region, but all of us here at Missouri Southern State University,” said Dr. Alan Marble, president of Missouri Southern. “We are committed to working side-by-side with them to identify and develop future generations of physicians who will continue to strengthen Joplin’s stature as the health-care epicenter of the Four State Area.”
