“Everything you need

to know to get

accepted to medical

school … but were

afraid to ask.”

What former boot camp attendees are saying:

“After attending the workshops, mock inter-

views, and discussions with current rural

physicians I feel better prepared for the

medical school admissions process.” Austin

Allen, 2014 Attendee

“This camp was a great experience and I

gained a tremendous amount of confidence

in my ability to navigate through the medi-

cal school admission process.” Max Shrout,

2015 Attendee

“This program has been extremely benefi-

cial. The feedback given on your application

and mock interview is honest and very help-

ful. RPLP Boot Camp shows you what to

expect not only during the application pro-

cess, but also after you have been accepted

and you are a medical student.” Chelsea

Nolan , 2016 Attendee

Boot Camp Description

If you have a desire to help your community, your home, and your family through medicine, we want to help you with the medical school admissions process. The experience is a four-day, intense preparatory course for the admissions process. The Admissions Boot Camp was developed by the admissions office of the UK College of Medicine to remove barriers faced by rural students applying for medical school. This program gives you an insider’s glimpse of the medical school admissions process, with tips from the Associate Dean of Admissions and the Assistant Dean of the RPLP. If you are attending a Kentucky College or University and you wish to practice rural medicine, this program can help you.

Boot Camp participants practice suturing.
