No physician letter is required ("N/A; no physician letter required"); instead, either a single letter from a premedical/pre-health committee, OR two letters from core-science professors. · Shadowing is not a stated required minimum-hours category but strongly encouraged; either virtual or in-person shadowing is accepted. · Accepted internationally, subject to conditions: at least 75% of baccalaureate credits from a US or Canadian regionally accredited institution, English proficiency, foreign coursework evaluated by WES or Josef Silny and Associates, F-1 visa/SEVIS compliance, and (for non-permanent-residents) escrow proof of funds for the full program cost; DACA applicants are NOT considered. · Canadian applicants are treated under the international-applicant policy above; coursework from a Canadian institution counts toward the 75% domestic-credit requirement, but Canadians are not a distinct category with separate terms. · No Early Decision Program offered ("LECOM does not offer an Early Decision Program"). · Greensburg (Seton Hill) campus: offers the PBL pathway and the Accelerated Physician Assistant Pathway (APAP), a 3-year accelerated DO pathway exclusively for certified Physician Assistants. · Erie campus: offers the Lecture Discussion Pathway (LDP), Directed Study Pathway (DSP), and the Primary Care Scholars Pathway (PCSP) 3-year accelerated track.
