YSU and LECOM allow joint admission

YOUNGSTOWN

A new educational affiliation between Youngstown State University and Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) provides students in the YSU-BaccMed program with opportunities for joint or early admission to LECOM; or allows individuals to become primary care physicians and earn both bachelor’s and medical degrees within a variety of time lines, including a compressed, six-year period.

The affiliation also allows students to apply for joint admission to LECOM and YSU-BaccMed during their senior year in high school, or they may apply to LECOM in their first or second year at YSU.
