LECOM at Seton Hill hosted an On-Campus Day in March for 6 students from Indiana University of Pennsylvania's American Medical Student Association.
The students got to experience life as a LECOM student with Simulation lab, Problem-Base Learning, and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine demos. After touring the campus, they wrapped up the day with lunch with faculty members, where they could speak one-on-one and get answers to all their questions.
Thanks to these exceptional students and the IUP American Medical Student Association President, Ms. Catherine Martsolf.

Hi, my name is Connor Bowers. I graduated from Wilson College with a degree in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Psychology. I have just received my acceptance to Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine-Bradenton Class of 2029. I chose LECOM because of the Problem Based Learning curriculum, which allows us to place teamwork at the center of learning and grow together. I also loved the campus and the faculty. I’m super excited to get started!
