Medical School Explores Wellington Campus
Dr. Silvia Ferretti, the Provost, Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) will be visiting Wellington January 19th through 22nd. The intent of this visit is to present as many facets of Wellington as possible to Dr. Ferretti and acquaint her with the community and business leaders. She will tour the community and meet with representatives from The Wellington and Palms West Chambers of Commerce, elected officials and area medical and educational institution representatives.
LECOM is currently the largest medical college in the country with its main campus in Erie, Pennsylvania, and campuses in and . In addition to the degree, LECOM also grants Pharmaceutical and Dental degrees. With third and fourth year medical students already training at Wellington Regional Medical Center, LECOM is beginning to plan for a satellite campus in the Medical Arts District this summer.
A core component of LECOM’s success has been its integration into the community and its arrival in the Wellington Medical Arts District will help keep the “well” in Wellington!
