Podiatry 4+4

Why pursue podiatry at Geneseo?

A partnership with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) School of Podiatric Medicine facilitates early admission and guarantees SUNY Geneseo two spots in each year’s student cohort. Based on a successful interview within their first two years at Geneseo, students will be offered provisional admission to LECOM. Geneseo graduates of any major with sufficient pre-med coursework may then enter LECOM and work toward a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree.
