Results from LECOM Facebook Survey: Is LECOM right for you?

Results from LECOM Facebook Survey: Is LECOM right for you?

This episode breaks down the information about Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, or LECOM, an institution with two campuses in Pennsylvania, one in Bradenton Florida, and one on the way in New York. The tuition, curriculum, rotation sites, and more are discussed, all from LECOM's website listed here: https://lecom.edu/academics/the-college-of-medicine/

A survey was sent out to the Class of 2020, from all 3 campuses, over Facebook, and 26 students responded to questions of why they chose LECOM, why they like it, and what they think could be improved about the school. This information is presented in a candid and professional way, to help the pre-medical student know if LECOM is the right school for them. Use this podcast in conjunction with the experiences of other students and alumni to help your decisions.
