CPME Grants Candidacy Status for LECOM as 11th Podiatry School

At the Council on Podiatric Medical Education’s (CPME) meeting last week, it granted Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) School of Podiatric Medicine candidacy status for accreditation as a podiatric medical college. While it is anticipated final approval will be given by CPME, there are still some processes to go through before that occurs.
