That's interesting. What do you mean by "4 years of work"? Most state's have loan forgiveness programs for physicians that are willing to practice in under served areas and there are other programs for this as well.
I am just curious as to what LECOM is offering. Also, be mindful that if the program is "being set up", it's not a done deal at this point and, while I am sure it will go through, there is the chance that it won't.
Either way, good luck to you.
