For our international applicants, we want to make you aware that should an offer of admission be extended, you will need to provide evidence of sufficient funding to cover the entire length of the program. Note: Applicants with permanent residency status "pending" are not eligible for admissions.
Attention Prospective Canadian Applicants: Due to recent changes in Canadian law, students pursuing a DO degree are finding it more difficult to find residency training options in Canada, post-graduation. The Canadian Osteopathic Medical Schools Association is recommending that all students pursuing the DO degree pursue an ACGME residency training program in the United States after graduation rather than returning to Canada to pursue residency training. Because these factors are out of our control at KCU, we encourage all Canadian applicants to consider very seriously whether this degree is the right option considering realities back in Canada.
We hope your journey to becoming an osteopathic physician begins at KCU.
