During my second year of medical school, I secured an internship with a local organization in Sarasota, FL known as Florida Area Health Education Center (aka AHEC)! This invaluable experience has not only broadened my understanding of local resources and community organizations but has also provided insights into the health disparities within my community. Through my internship, I have gained valuable knowledge about the actions taken by AHEC to improve community health in the state of Florida. This hands-on experience will undoubtedly enhance my future medical practice, allowing me to connect with local resources and contribute to the betterment of community health. This internship was one of small proactive steps I hope to take towards becoming a physician who is deeply engaged with and responsive to the needs of the community. I encourage all LECOM-Bradenton students-medicine, dental and pharmacy to look into this organization and get involved!

I chose the LDP pathway as I knew that I would thrive the best when learning from a lecture. Additionally, it allows me to interact with the faculty daily, allowing me to ask any questions about the material we had just learned during each of the breaks between lectures throughout the day. The Erie campus was the only one with this option, and I like that Erie is between three major cities, with each being about two hours at most away.

I chose to pursue osteopathic medicine at LECOM through the PBL pathway because of its dynamic and immersive approach to education. PBL places me in the center of real-world medical scenarios and helps me to actively and critically think. Not only does PBL enhance my diagnostic skills, but also encourages me to have a holistic, patient-oriented mindset. Ultimately, the PBL pathway provides me with an interactive learning method for a deeper understanding of osteopathic medicine and patient care.

My name is Karishma Kumar and I’m a current OMS-3 in the LDP pathway! Prior to starting medical school, I completed the MMS program which solidified my belief that LECOM is the perfect school for me. During the MMS program, I realized that my optimal learning approach involves structured lectures and having a daily regimen, aspects that are mirrored in LECOM’s LDP pathway. The preparatory nature of the MMS program significantly helped me acclimate quickly to the rigor of the medical school curriculum.

Last year, I had the honor of conducting research alongside Dr. Speelman, where we focused on investigating the impact of a high sucrose diet on a rat model for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Before starting medical school, I gained valuable experience at a fertility clinic, where I witnessed the challenges faced by numerous PCOS-afflicted patients, both psychologically and physically, especially in their struggles with infertility. Through my collaboration with Dr. Speelman, I acquired profound insights into the correlation between high sucrose diets in PCOS rat models and the heightened risk of metabolic dysfunction, furthering my understanding of this complex medical condition.
