Maryville University offers a Pre-Osteopathic Medicine program designed to prepare students for medical school with a focus on patient-centered care and a holistic approach to health. This program emphasizes health promotion and disease prevention, along with hands-on diagnosis and treatment. Students receive guidance from a dedicated Pre-Health Professions advisor and committee, who provide information on medical colleges, career paths, and admission requirements. The program also facilitates opportunities for undergraduate research, job shadowing, and volunteer work. A unique aspect of Maryville's program is its partnership with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM), the largest medical school in the country. This partnership allows pre-osteopathic medicine majors to pursue early acceptance to LECOM, bypassing many application hurdles. Students can major in various science fields, such as biology or biochemistry, and benefit from annual advising and workshops with LECOM staff to ensure readiness for medical training.
