It’s great getting info firsthand from a Dean of a med school. Great interview!
The interviews you conduct are great
driedupastrey 19 Hey thanks!
I interviewed and got accepted to this school this past cycle though I’m attending a different school. The interview was really great. I had the opportunity to talk with a lot of the staff and some of them even met my family after the interview. Great and dedicated people.
Yes, great school!
That’s so awesome. I’m interested in this school as well.
As a pre-med and native Houstonian, I would absolutely LOVE to attend this school. They seem really great and seem to be headed in the right direction for becoming a well established, top-notch school.
Thank you, as always, Dr. Webb for the awesome interview.
Thank you both for this video. I'm not considering Texas schools, but this information is helpful to anyone considering med school. You're a gem, Dr. Webb.
Great video and a great school. Loved the students and teachers of UIWSOM, can't wait to be a part of this wonderful team.
God bless you, Dr. Webb.
I’m a non-trad and Incarnate is at the top of my list and this was fantastic. Thank you!
That lady is professional, well educated in all directions
I have an interview with UIWSOM this week. I’m pumped. Good video Dr. Webb!
Thank you for drawing attention to the osteopathic profession Dr. Webb! Since my school is way more competitive nowadays, this was a great vid for premeds. As an incoming orthopedic intern, I felt like my osteopathic education went really in depth pertaining to the musculoskeletal system, and prepared me well during my away rotations/ residency coming up, and as a physician as a whole! Would love to meet you sometime as a future colleague :)
Awesome. Congrats on your ortho spot. Keep up the good work and stay in touch!
Such an informative video! So glad that you're making content for prospective physicians. It may be worth pointing out the derogatory history of the word 'allopathic' as an exonym and the contentiousness of its use today.
This was a REALLY good and helpful video! She answered those questions well and I am happy I watched this
Thank you! I’m glad it helped!
nice ! thanks for this !
A bit late to the game here, but I'm a current OMS-1 here at SOM. I really really like it here. Excellent choice if you're into more collaborative environments. The anatomy staff, in particular, are brilliant. Almost all of them migrated from UTHSCA to here, have a serious passion for teaching, and are readily available to help with students for extra help. Just a really good environment overall!
Thank you for this! UIWSOM is my first choice.
Thank you so much for this! Ill be applying this upcoming application cycle
This is outstanding insight. Thank you so much Dr. Webb.
Thanks!
this video is pure gold
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Thanks, boss, for sharing this insightful video.
Apppreciate you so much Dr.Webb💪🏾
I doubt anyone sees these old comments but i seriously appreciate your videos. I'm42 and it is what it is. Good luck to others.
Thank you so much for this video!!
My guy askin them hard hitting questions
ha, thanks!
Dr. Antonio for the win! Always, right on time.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Thank you, Dr. Webb.
Thank you Dr. Webb, excellent information
Thanks!
wonderful interview, Thank you.
Thanks Louis!
Great video!!!
Awesome video, thank you and Andrea!
I have one question that I'm interested in your perspective. What're your thoughts on physiatrists? There seems to be a negative stigma that they are lazy because the hours are not nearly as high as other specialties. Thanks, Dr. Webb!
I´d love a video about residency admission process (the interview process)
Good suggestion! I will look into this! Make sure to subscribe to be on the look out for this and upcoming new videos posted every week!
1.DOs are Medical Doctors although not using MD anymore.
2.DOs are Competitive just like MDs.
3.DOs can perform Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy that can cure and threat patients before prescribing medications which proves to be very effective base on testimonies from Patients and that MDs cannot do this procedure because their not train for it.
so this means we can really tell which has more advantages.
regarding the Mcat and Gpa scores, to me it should not be the issue because Mcatand Gpa ares not a guaranty that a student is a better than others, there are A students who enrolled in the osteopathy medical schools.
but all of the two can work together as primary care provider.
OMG THATS MY DREAM SCHOOL IM APPLYING TO THEIR DIRECT ADMIT PROGRAM NEXT YEAR☺️
Awesome! Good luck. It’s a great school. I hoped you learned something from the video
Could you do a video on PM&R? It’s not a very well known field
Hi here you go!
ua-cam.com/video/e3ZtEdaI8so/v-deo.html
Hi Doctor! I just got accepted into Incarnate Word in dreams of being in the medical field. I’m happy I chose this school
Hello Happy which gpa did you have while applying to it if I may ask?
@@MauwaFelekeni 3.5 I’m still a freshman though. I declined UIW, not the right move right now maybe in the future :)
@@happypremed1088 How did you applied for it and your still a freshman in undergrads? did you take any mcats?
@@MauwaFelekeni no I haven’t taken the MCAT yet, that won’t be until junior year probably. You just apply online at the UIW website
@@happypremed1088 wow so you got into there DO school without it?
Omg this is where I go online lol god is trying to tell me something. I was trying to get into their health care admin program.
Great video! Would you consider doing something similar with nursing school?
Good suggestion! I will look into this! Make sure to subscribe to be on the look out for this and upcoming new videos posted every week
Anybody know if MD or DO schools have preference for students that apply from high profile schools? e.g Berkeley, Stanford, Yale
Does the MCAT serve as an equalizer?
Brian Mazariegos honestly we don’t really know...obviously the more established the school/how well you do wherever you end up will be the ultimate determinate of where you end up. More prestigious schools tend to be more competitive as an environment as a whole. My DO school had people who went to ivies, private schools, state schools, and even a couple of community colleges for those that decided to pursue medicine later on. Just do the best where you’re at!
gfan105 thanks for the insight. Will keep in mind.
Hey man, could you do a video on MD-PhD programs?
Hi here you go
ua-cam.com/video/2GS070fMipw/v-deo.html
That's my school!
Awesome. Great school!
👍🏾
I feel that the mcat is too old of a test to judge someone’s ability to pass med school and or stay in school and not drop out and simply a way to weed out lower ethnic groups, much like Jim Crow laws.
I say this because some people are horrible test takers; myself included. Yet time and time again I always out perform the straight A’s bookworms when it come to hands on approach and know what to do in the real world. ✊🏿 ✊🏿 ✊🏿
Perhaps do a video on this Dr. Webb.
Dr. Webb l wish you and your wife the best with the birth of your new baby! I'm writing to ask where your going to be working do you have your own practice and play no because I'm thinking maybe I need to come see you because I have some issues going on with my niece and doctors in the city of reside in of Killeen are not helping me at all with the issue so I'm thinking probably it'll be good to come to your office and pay you a visit of course I have insurance and so if you could leave your address I would greatly appreciate it of the office. Thank you sir!
Thank you for the message. Unfortunately, my practice will not start until 2020 as I am completing a spine surgery fellowship here over the next year but please stay in touch!
@@antoniowebbmd dr.web do you happen to know of any
That are really good in the Plano area or the Killeen Texas area or can you just tell me about any doctor that would be good to at least give me a look over to see what my injuries are and if there is anything that can be done because I honestly don't believe I need to be in a wheelchair I'm not paralyzed all my faculties still function so I don't think it makes sense that I'm in a wheelchair when I don't have to be! I am honestly baffled when it co/m to my situation why it's so difficult for me to get adequate answers and adequate help!if you know of any good doctors that focus primarily on knees please let me know and steer me in the right direction because I am totally lost and when it comes to figuring out why doctors will not help me!
She says it’s myth that DO schools accepts lower mcat/gpa but it is completely true. GPA wise the difference is extremely close 3.7 vs 3.6/3.5. It’s the mcat where you see a bigger difference. I think they try to take the best students they can get and right now it’s so much more competitive the average MCAT for some DO schools is higher than some MD classes.
It’s probably just me, but hearing someone always say “sure” when speaking to them seems as if they are being a bit rude or not trusting what you are asking/ or saying to them.
Gives time stamps for the questions in the descriptions? Insta like and subscribe
Thanks, I will try to do this more often!
so where are the DO medical classes on "Foundations of the Soul 101" or "Anatomy of the Spirit 100?"
Dr Webb....tummy all coming out... U putting on weight... Welcome to marriage life bro...😎
Thanks for all ur videos... Really motivates me brother. Thanks once again
She says "Sure" too much. Sounds more like "Shore" though lol

I think it’s interesting that the Medical School Associate Dean of Admissions isn’t a doctor.
The same is true at Harvard or Yale or anywhere else. You don't need a medical degree to figure out if someone is qualified for medical school. Besides, the professors and doctors at a medical school have better things to do than sort through and read thousands of applications.
Did she really mean 3.55 is a competitive GPA ? At 8:10 . Isn't that a bit low or is that just to have ur application considered ?
No that's not.
That’s just to have it considered
It’s not uncommon for applicants to be accepted with 3.5 gpas, that’s the average gpa she is saying.
If a student apply to both DO and MD school, does that affect theirs application ?
No it does not affect. They are two different applications that’s not connected.
The consistency of the hand motion while conversing.. lol
This video was so informative 😱 thank you!!
Your consistency is insane! How do you do it? I need tips! Great job #UA-camGoals
Dr Webb your the man
You probably get thousands of complements on your involvement with us, Dr. Webb. I'll just add another: you are improving the lives of so many Pre-meds, it's unbelievable thanks so much for your help, and I hope to be like you some day!
San Antonio on the map!!!
Thank you Dr. Webb for all the constant information you give on your platform and your a big inspiration to many coming after you.
Yesss
This video will blow up.. calling it now.
doubt it
First one here..... I already know it’s going to be an amazing video...
