Two Earlham College graduates from the Class of 2021 have become the first to enroll at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) as part of a new partnership and early acceptance program between the two institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matt Bushik from North Huntingdon, Pa., and Claire Cornwell from Paoli, Ind., were accepted into LECOM\u2019s osteopathic medicine program as sophomores. Bushik will study at the Seton Hill campus in his hometown this fall. Cornwell has chosen to study at the institution\u2019s Bradenton, Fla., campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am really blessed to have gained early acceptance to LECOM,\u201d Cornwell said. \u201cThey offer specific learning pathways that are different from other medical schools that are more lecture-based. I think will help make me a better doctor. It\u2019s just a perfect fit for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m also excited to have palm trees in my backyard and live in a warmer climate,\u201d she said. \u201cIndiana has always been my home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
