PCSP Curriculum

Students complete all courses and learning modules required in the first two years of preclinical education in 18 months. They utilize the Directed Study Pathway format. The PCSP students complete several courses during the summer 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 for the PCSP students to continue OMM training and other essential medical skills. They conclude their clinical years with a sub-internship which introduces students to the hospitals where they will continue their clinical training after graduation.
