Tutor insight
TouroCOM Montana interviews are mission-driven — if you cannot articulate a genuine, specific commitment to rural and frontier medicine, this school will not be a strong fit. Research Montana's physician shortage data and the Indian Health Service before your interview. Demonstrate flexibility and resilience, as rural training involves logistical challenges urban programs do not. Apply early; rolling admissions favor early AACOMAS submissions.
