The Wright Center for Community Health welcomed four medical students from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM), who will complete rotations at the nonprofit’s health centers and other locations throughout the region. This year marks the launch of the partnership between The Wright Center and LECOM, which is open to third- and fourth-year medical students. “The goal is to train these medical students in underserved communities, and hopefully, they will stay in Northeast Pennsylvania to complete their medical residencies after graduation,” said Carla Blakeslee, The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education’s clerkships coordinator.
