The Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine takes a total-person approach to health care encompassing the mind, body and spirit of the patient. The osteopathic physician becomes a partner with the patient on a pathway to health and well-being.

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine is looking for medical students who will excel in academics, clinical care, research and community service. The College selects applicants who show an awareness of osteopathic medicine recognizing total-person health care for the patient and for the community.

LECOM has designed a student-centered curriculum recognizing different learning styles: traditional Lecture-Discussion Pathway (LDP); small-group, Problem-Based Learning Pathway (PBL); or the self-learning Independent Study Pathway (ISP). LECOM offers the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Degree at two campuses. The Erie, Pennsylvania campus offers three learning pathways, while Bradenton, Florida students enroll in PBL. LECOM Erie also offers the Primary Care Scholars Pathway designed to attract more students to primary care and family medicine by condensing four years of medical education into three years.
