BYU School of Medicine now accepting applications

The BYU School of Medicine is now accepting applications for its inaugural class through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS).

This announcement follows the schools preliminary accreditation, which authorizes recruitment and admission of students into its MD program. With the AMCAS listing now active, prospective students can select the BYU School of Medicine and submit a primary application.

We are seeking students who love God and His children and who desire to demonstrate that love through the practice of medicine, said Dr. Joshua Jaramillo, associate dean of admissions.

The School of Medicine will welcome the inaugural class in July 2027. Prospective students are encouraged to review admissions requirements and application instructions found on the schools website and may also attend a virtual information session. The primary application deadline will be December 31, 2026.

The students we will train as physician-scientists will be a blessing to countless people through their humility, exceptional skill, and Christ-centered compassion, said Dr. Mark Ott, inaugural dean. We are grateful for all those who desire to embrace medicine as one of lifes great callings.

To commemorate accreditation and the opening of admissions, the School of Medicine will host a celebratory event on the evening of November 13 at the West Campus Football Field (the former Provo High School). The celebration will feature a drone light show, treats, giveaways, and the opportunity to learn more about the distinctive student experience that will be offered at the School of Medicine, centered on the schools mission of developing Christ-centered physicians.
