Representing LECOM at Elmira on a national stage!
Dr. Terry, along with OMS-III students Rachael Muggleton and Jazz Munitz, had the honor of presenting at the MedHub 2025 Virtual Medical Education Summit.

💡 Their session highlighted the generational disconnect in today’s workforce—between Baby Boomers, Millennials, and the emerging Gen Z. They discussed common stereotypes, differences in communication styles, and what motivates Gen Z learners in both the classroom and the workplace. The conversation sparked thoughtful dialogue on how to foster environments that are efficient, innovative, collaborative, and compassionate — equipping the next generation of healthcare professionals to thrive.

✨ Meet: Hamdan Khan ✨

“Hi, my name is Hamdan Khan, and I am a biology major at Elmhurst University in Illinois. I just received my acceptance to Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine – Bradenton’s Class of 2030.
The reason I chose LECOM is that I resonate with the values LECOM upholds. Excellence in service is at the core of the LECOM mission, and it's something I look to embody as I embark on the path to learning holistic healing.
I hope to be an excellent servant to humanity.” 🌟

We are excited to welcome Hamdan to the LECOM Bradenton family and can’t wait to see the impact he makes as part of the Class of 2030!
