As a private institution, there are no limits on accepting students from outside of the U.S. If higher education is completed in the U.S., there are no extra application steps. If any of the higher education credit is completed outside of the U.S., the applicant will need to have their coursework evaluated by the World Education Services (WES) prior to completing the AACOMAS application. International students are evaluated by the same criteria as all applicants. The only difference for international students is at the time of acceptance: international students are initially offered a conditional acceptance pending documentation of adequate funding for all four years (as they are not eligible for U.S. 联邦贷款计划).

Third-year rotations are at Clinical Core Sites and Private Practices throughout the Northeast. 学生 select their third-year site through a Clinical Core Site Assignment Process (C-CAP). Clinical Core Sites are spread throughout Maine, 麻萨诸塞州, 新汉普郡, 新泽西, 纽约, 和罗德岛州. Each student will complete the following rotations: internal medicine (12 weeks), 家庭医学, 妇产科, 儿科, 精神病学, 手术(各6周), and mommunity health (4 weeks). 学生 will also have a two-week elective during their third year. As an additional option, Third-Year students can apply for the Longitudinal Integrated 书记的职位. A longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) is an alternate way of organizing the third-year clinical experience. Rather than rotating through six-week blocks, LIC students are embedded with a rural primary care clinic for the year. They build deeper relationships with their preceptors and develop a patient panel of their own. 学生 follow their patients into specialist care; they also participate in one-week rotations in specialist areas throughout the year.
Fourth-year selectives (16 weeks) and electives (18 weeks) can be completed at locations throughout the U.S., and outside the country, at hospitals and/or clinics of the student's choice. Selectives include four weeks of internal medicine sub-specialty, four weeks of surgery sub-specialty, four weeks of emergency medicine, four weeks of osteopathic manipulative medicine. Selective rotations must be completed inside the United States. All elective/selective sites must be approved in advance by the Office of Clinical Education.

There is no on-campus housing available for osteopathic medical students. Most students live in the surrounding cities of Biddeford, 中美合作所, 或老果园海滩, with less than a 12–15 minute drive to campus. There are students who choose to live in Portland or South Portland, and rent is typically higher in these areas. 学生 can commute from NH or MA, but these students will typically have a drive of at least an hour each direction. Because on-campus classes run from July through early May, a 12-month lease is recommended.
