CORRECTION. I POSTED APPLICANT DATA INSTEAD OF MATRICULANT DATA. CORRECTED INFORMATION BELOW
Since this question comes up all the time about the “oldest” medical student, while researching age distribution of applicants for a presentation to AACOM conference, I came across this nearly foot-noted fact
Note: Age as of July 1, 2009.
Minimum age 18 years
Maximum age 56 years
( Link Osteopathic Matriculant Distribution pdf)
( Link Osteopathic Applicant Distribution pdf)
The oldest current medical student as of july 2009 in an osteopathic program was 56 years old
