Dr. Rubin’s B.A.(B.S.)-D.O. Program List


Dr Rubin encourages students to apply to osteopathic medical schools, especially if you are interested in primary care. I have created the following list of programs for your consideration.  As of August 2023, I now have divided the list into 2: Schools that accept students directly from high school and schools that accept students from college earlier than the typical senior year. These programs are listed alphabetically by Medical School Name - not college name.  If you are interested in a school, click on the linked description to learn about the specific program. A link may not work if the school has changed their site.  Please email me if you find a bad link or you know of a school that is not listed.


Good Luck with your search,


Dr. Rubin
