Students interested in earning either a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree upon completing a bachelor’s degree at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford may choose to major in any academic discipline. Most students currently attending medical schools majored in biology. Each medical school may have specific requirements, in addition to the minimum courses required by all medical schools, so students are advised to check with the medical schools of their choice prior to completing their bachelor’s degree.

Minimum prerequisites include:
Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) Affiliation Agreement (3 + 4 Accelerated Program in Primary Care Medicine)
If you have successfully completed specific core course requirements on our campus, you may continue your education in medicine at LECOM after your third year of undergraduate coursework. A bachelors degree from Pitt-Bradford will be awarded after the successful completion of your first year of medical school classes at LECOM. In order to be admitted into this program, you must have an SAT (or ACT equivalent) score of 1170 (math and critical reading sections), a high school GPA of 3.5, exhibit potential for osteopathic medicine, and complete a personal interview at LECOM. If you’re interested in participating in this program, you should contact Dr. Lauren Yaich at yaich@pitt.edu.
Please be advised
Please be advised that some programs or courses of study require that students complete rotations, fieldwork, internships/externships and/or teaching assignments at facilities external to the university, while other programs or courses of study may offer voluntary internships or externships at facilities external to the university. Depending on the program or course, such facilities will or may require a criminal background check, an act 33/34 clearance (if applicable), and perhaps a drug screen to determine participant qualification or eligibility. Additionally, in order to become licensed, many states will inquire as to whether the applicant has been convicted of a misdemeanor, a felony, or a felonious or illegal act associated with alcohol and/or substance abuse.
