CORRECTION: Osteopathic Student Age Statistics

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
