Medical students at the three campuses of LECOM received National Osteopathic Medicine Week proclamations from the mayors of each community. The event, which is promoted each year by LECOM, brings the osteopathic medical profession together to focus upon one common goal: increasing awareness of osteopathic medicine and Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) in communities across the country.
