Want to gain early acceptance to a Doctor of Podiatry program?
A partnership program with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) School of Podiatric Medicine facilitates early admission. A student may apply to LECOM as a high school senior or up until completion of junior year at SUNY Geneseo. Based on a successful interview with LECOM staff, students will be offered provisional admission to the LECOM Doctor of Podiatry program.
