How The Primary Care Scholars Curriculum Works

LECOM uses its experience with innovative teaching pathways to ensure that Primary Care Scholars receive the equivalent of four years of academic and clinical education to prepare for post-graduate training.

Following unique courses and learning modules, students complete the first two years of basic science and preclinical education in under 20 months.

They begin clinical training in March of year two. Students must complete core competency-based clinical rotations that meet all the educational requirements necessary for primary care medicine. LECOM has introduced new core rotations to continue OMM training and other essential medical skills. A sub-internship introduces students to the hospitals where they will continue their clinical training after graduation.
