Silvia M. Ferretti, D.O., Provost, Senior Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs for LECOM, in announcing the appointment, said, “During this time of transition from Dr. Gotlieb to a new dean, LECOM has elected to select an interim dean who will guide the school toward continued excellence.”

While completing his second doctoral degree, he served as the assistant director of the LECOM Lecture Discussion Pathway in Erie, PA, helping to oversee medical students’ pre-clinical education. Dr. Bateman was later named Assistant Dean of Curriculum, Faculty and Assessment, at which time he developed a new approach for the Problem-Based Learning pathway to gross anatomy that was implemented at the LECOM Seton Hill campus and was subsequently adapted to the dental curriculum.
Dr. Bateman has continued his professional training by attending the Harvard Macy Institute, A Systems Approach to Assessment in Health Profession Education, and attending the Interprofessional Education Collaborative Institute.
