Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine School of Pharmacy New #LIPhE Curriculum Set for 2021 LECOM plans to launch a new curriculum in the fall of 2021 known as #LIPhE. The L stands for LECOM and our School of Pharmacy. Established in 2002, the LECOM School of Pharmacy began with an innovative accelerated pathway in Erie, Pennsylvania, and quickly grew to provide a fouryear option to students in Bradenton, Florida. Continuing our record of innovation and student-centered education, the distance education pathway – one of only two in the country at the time – admitted its first students in 2014. In August 2021, our next chapter begins. The I in #LIPhE stands for individualized and our commitment to providing an instructional environment to meet the needs of every student. A modular, systems-based curriculum will allow students to focus on clinical applications in their first term. Our new first-term applied patient care labs are already starting to do this. These modules will also be aligned with longitudinal courses to reinforce key topics like pharmacy calculations and pharmacy law. The result is a curriculum that is active, engaging and student-driven in order to make our graduates similarly active and engaging clinicians. The “Ph” is for the pharmacy profession and LECOM School of Pharmacy’s commitment to graduating highly skilled clinicians. Pharmacists are the most accessible health care professional and they understand the importance of individualization when it comes to successful medication regimens. LECOM is transforming its curriculum to allow students to individualize their learning to meet the needs of patients in the changing health care landscape. The E in #LIPhE stands for education and represents LECOM’s mission to prepare students to become pharmacy practitioners through programs of excellence in education. LECOM is a teaching-focused institution with a full faculty devoted to teaching and exploring new and engaging pedagogies with the goal of providing the best educational experience possible. Education is the foundation of all that we do and all that we are. It’s pharmacy school, the way YOU want to do it. Your LIPhE! – Your Way!
