A new partnership with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) will facilitate early admission for SUNY Geneseo students interested in dentistry, podiatry, or osteopathic medicine.
Students will be offered provisional acceptance to LECOM’s schools of dental, podiatric, or osteopathic medicine based on a successful interview within their first two years at SUNY Geneseo. As long as the appropriate pre-med coursework has been completed, any SUNY Geneseo BA or BS degree will be accepted. LECOM will also guarantee two (podiatry) and five (dentistry, osteopathic) spots for Geneseo students in each year’s student cohort.
“SUNY Geneseo students have a long history of success in pursuing medical degrees,” says Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Mary C. Toale. “Our new partnership with LECOM provides a fantastic opportunity for our students to gain early admission into dentistry, podiatry, or osteopathic medicine degree programs.”
This partnership with LECOM allows SUNY Geneseo students to become eligible for early acceptance into LECOM’s College of Medicine, leading to the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (DO); the School of Podiatric Medicine, leading to the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree (DPM); or the School of Dental Medicine, leading to the Doctor of Dental Medicine degree (DMD).
Prospective students interested in exploring these pre-health options should contact Kevin Reed, assistant director of admissions, at reedk@geneseo.edu or 585-245-5435.
