Lecom Affiliation Agreement
The UWRF Biology Department has entered into a 3-1 agreement that allows students to visit the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, after three years of basic courses required at the UWRF. After a year of chiropractic school, students receive a BS at UWRF Bbology. Palmer scholarships are available. Dr Kathryn Link, Associate Professor and Health Sciences Program Coordinator, said, „With the Early Acceptance Agreement with LECOM, we are better able to target our students` academic goals while pursuing their long-term goals at Alfred State.“ The UWRF Biology Department has entered into a three-and-a-half-year membership agreement with the echocardiography, sonography and X-ray program at the Mayo School of Health Sciences. After three years at the UWRF, students attend classes in Mayo for two years. After their first year in Mayo, students receive a BS in biology from the uwRF. They then advance to the clinical part of the training in Mayo. At the end of the program, students receive a certificate of echocardiography, sonography or X-ray and can participate in the licensing exam. During the higher school year, a maximum of 15 students are admitted to the pool of qualified candidates. Full approval is only granted when all admission requirements are met. After the acceptance offered, students will have two weeks to pay the deposit at Gannon University to reserve their place in the program.
If the deadline runs out without a down payment, the place is offered to another student. Students who wish to be included in the LECOM affiliate program at De Gannon University must apply and be successfully admitted to one of gannon University`s medical programs. submit an application form for the early acceptance program on the LECOM portal (portal.lecom.edu/ics). Select the Medical 3/4 program from the drop-down menu on the LECOM application form and list Gannon University as one of the top three schools you`re interested in. submit an online application for the early acceptance program at LECOM. conclude an authorisation interview with LECOM. Send an email to LECOM in which you decide to visit Gannon with a Gannon email account, using the decision to go with you on the train. receive a provisional acceptance letter from LECOM. John M. Ferretti, D.O., President and CEO of LECOM, said, „Thanks to this partnership, students at Alfred State College now have the opportunity to receive training unmatched by our College of Osteopathic Medicine and School of Pharmacy.
LECOM`s mission is to promote 21st century health leaders, and agreements like the one with Alfred State College will help us address the shortage of doctors and pharmacists at the federal level for decades to come. This affiliation allows students with a doctorate in osteopathic medicine to enroll in LECOM`s earliest „4-4“ reception program. Students attend Alfred State College for four years, followed by four years at LECOM College of Osteopathic Medicine. Medical students can choose campuses in Erie and Greensburg, PA; Bradenton, FL; or LECOM`s last campus, LECOM in Elmira, to complete its training. „We are pleased to train future generations of osteopathic physicians, pharmacists and dentists with LECOM,“ said Michael T. Victor, President of Lake Erie College. „This agreement will benefit both institutions as we try to meet the urgent health needs of people of all ages, now and in the future.“ This affiliation allows students who currently enroll in Alfred State`s four-year health program to be enrolled simultaneously at LECOM as participants in an Early Reception Program (AEAP). As part of the EAP, LECOM will interview students prior to enrolling in Alfred State or during the first two years of study at the CSA. „I am honoured to be part of such a great program.
