Third–Year Student Rotations
Saint Vincent Family Medicine offers four- and six-week clerkship experiences for third–year medical students. This is primarily an outpatient experience that emphasizes ambulatory family medicine.
Saint Vincent Health Center has a major affiliation agreement with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine for student rotations. We are also affiliated with the Drexel University School of Medicine, Temple University School of Medicine, and the Penn State University/Milton S. Hershey School of Medicine for rotations in Family Medicine.
LECOM students are offered third– and fourth–year core rotations at Saint Vincent and are encouraged to schedule through the school's Office of Clinical Education.
