School Info

The largest medical school in the nation, the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and School of Pharmacy mission is to prepare students to become outstanding osteopathic physicians and pharmacy practitioners through programs of excellence in education, research, clinical care, and community service to enhance the quality of life through improved health for all humanity. The primary goal of LECOM is to educate students to become physicians practicing within the osteopathic concept. A secondary goal of the College is to educate and develop primary care physicians who will practice in the osteopathic tradition. The College imparts to its students a firm academic background enabling them to pursue advanced training in other fields of osteopathic medicine as well as primary care. The College encourages its students to participate in research to further advance their chosen profession.

Curriculum

LECOM recognizes students unique learning styles by offering four distinct pathways: The traditional Lecture- Discussion Pathway provides a systems approach to medicine; Problem-Based Learning offers mentored small group clinical case-based study; Independent Study allows students to learn a structured pre-clinical curriculum on their own; The Primary Care Scholars Pathway is the only program of its kind in the nation, offering the completion of the DO degree in three years.

Facilities

The college has four fully equipped lecture halls. Each of the two larger amphitheater style classrooms seats more than 250 students and two smaller lecture halls seating 150 students each. All lecture halls have ‘smart classroom’ equipment, with wireless and wired computer network connections for student laptops. In the larger lecture halls, instructors control and illustrate presentations from a computer tablet at the lectern.

The study of the body is an important part of becoming a competent health care provider. LECOM teaches gross anatomy in a climate-controlled lab. A modern Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine training lab includes video monitors so students can see close-up demonstrations of OMM techniques.

The campus includes a student lounge/cafeteria where a professional food service staff provides breakfast and lunch. Throughout the day, students use the main lounge and the nearby Vora Student Lounge for both individual and group study.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"The admissions office needs to be honest with their interview to decision time frame. I also did not think the informational session was useful since there 25+ students all asking questions at the same time. The “pop quiz” activity was also ridiculous." More from this Member | Report Response

"Change the interview format. Extend an "olive branch" to applicants to at least appear to be interested in getting to know them on a personal level and value their experience getting to know at least one member of the faculty." More from this Member | Report Response

What do you like least?

"The administration at the Erie campus is terrible. They are only interested in money and not their students. They do not want to help us succeed. One example is our simulation labs: we have two simulation men for 300 students and we only get to use the simulation twice a year. The simulation lab is vital to developing our clinical skills before we go out on rotations in year three. Many of the teachers have petitioned to get another sim man, but instead of doing that the school opens up a new campus in Elmira in order to make even more of a profit. They also bought the naming writes to the buffalo sabers home stadium. Another example is that the school is professional about wasting your time. They preach professionally yet the deans that preach it constantly never show up to class on time. They will also make you come in on a Friday afternoon just so you have to stay in Erie for a weekend. The best analogy I have for LECOM is the Walmart of medical schools. They make a product and they make a lot of it, but it is extremely low quality I would recommend going to any other medical school if you are accepted elsewhere." | Report Response

"The administration is absolutely terrible and completely inept. If you can avoid it, do not go to the Seton Hill campus. They constantly put their students at a huge disadvantage are not apologetic about it." | Report Response

"The way it is run. The entire administration, particularly the dean is terrible and continue to make decision after decision to the determent of its students." | Report Response

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
