LECOM Letter Requirements

Members don't see this ad.

It says that they require a letter from a DO. Is that recommended and they really mean a physician in general (i guess i answered my own question by typing "require")?

Also, if they will accept an MD Letter, if I have a letter already written would that suffice, or do I have to ask the MD to rewrite it pertaining to the *outline* or *format* that they have given?

As far as following a letter outline, that question goes for most DO schools.

Thanks,

A DO letter is, in fact, REQUIRED for LECOM.

You don't need any particular form/outline/whatever. Any ol' DO letter will work. 👍

LECOM does required a DO letter...however, I managed to work out a solution with LECOM Bradenton and had to withdraw my app from LECOM Erie.

I was raised in a rural, medically underserved area and there were very few DOs within a reasonable distance...and I had a hard time finding one when I moved to New Orleans a few months ago. If you are offered an interview at LECOM Bradenton they will schedule an interview with one of their DOs and he/she will write you the required letter of recommendation. If you plan to take advantage of this....be sure to call them prior to submitting the AACOMAS app.

Thanks. Every time I get into trouble it happens as a result of a post in Pre-allo, so I'm just going to stay out of there from now on.

I'm pretty sure that if it was against CB, most of the osteo forum would have torn his face off
