LECOM Honored as Employer of the Year

Erie’s expertise in education and training was reflected in two Employers of the Year honored on January 19 by the Economic Development Corporation of Erie County ( EDCEC ) at its annual dinner meeting.
     LECOM was honored in the non-manufacturing category for its dramatic growth and local economic impact since it opened in 1993 as an osteopathic medical school.  It was announced at the dinner that LECOM expects to become the nation’s largest medical school this fall when its total enrollment at Erie and Bradenton, Florida campuses reaches 1,418 – the highest number of students among 20 osteopathic or D.O. medical schools and 100 allopathic or M.D. medical schools.
    LECOM has graduated more than 1,000 physicians at its Erie campus on West Grandview Boulevard, now shared by the LECOM School of Pharmacy.
    LECOM Board Chair Michael J. Visnosky, Esq., and Donald Tuttle, Pharm.D., Dean of the LECOM School of Pharmacy, accepted the EDCEC award.
    Custom Engineering Company earned the manufacturing Employer of the Year award for its success in customizing skilled training programs as well as multi-ton industrial fabrications that are shipped worldwide from the East 33rd & McClelland Street plant.
