Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine Bradenton Campus

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. In 2004 LECOM opened a branch campus in Bradenton, Florida, and in 2008 released plans to open a new branch campus in Greensburg, PA at the site of Seton Hill University. 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.

    The Medical School has three learning pathways: a traditional Lecture Discussion Program, a Problem Based Learning Program, and an independent study program. 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.

    Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine located in Erie, Pennsylvania with a branch campus in Bradenton, Florida, is the nation's second largest medical college and is one of the few accelerated three-year pharmacy schools in the country. LECOM recognizes student-centered learning styles by offering three curriculum pathways for its medical students. The traditional, lecture-discussion curriculum begins with core basic science and pre-clinical courses and progresses with a systems-based curriculum in year two. Problem-based learning offers small-group training following patient cases and Independent Study allows qualified students to use educational modules based on the core and systems curriculum's.
