Description: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (or LECOM) is a private, graduate school of medicine and pharmacy. The main campus is located in Erie, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1992, LECOM is a member of the Millcreek Health System in partnership with Millcreek Geriatric Education and Care Center, and physician offices of Medical Associates of Erie.

LECOM grants the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and the Doctor of Pharmacy degrees, and also maintains a Post Baccalaureate Program, providing educational opportunities for students who need to enhance their basic science credentials for admission to medical or pharmacy school.

This offers students a variety of ways to learn, allowing them to learn in the method that best suits them. The Erie campus offers all three pathways, while the Bradenton campus is solely Problem Based Learning. The Erie branch also offers a unique accelerated pathway to primary care, LECOM's Primary Care Scholars Pathway (PCSP), which condenses four years of medical education into three years in order to graduate Primary Care physicians sooner.
