As part of National Osteopathic Medicine Week, the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine was recognized by the Bradenton Community to recognize the commitment and professionalism of the nation’s osteopathic physicians.

National Osteopathic Medicine Week runs April 15-21.

Bradenton Mayor Wayne Poston presented an official proclamation to LECOM Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Robert George, osteopathic physicians and representatives from LECOM’s Student Government Association.

The event, which is promoted by the American Osteopathic Association and is held each year to coincide with the founding date of the AOA (April 19, 1897), aims to increase awareness of osteopathic medicine in communities across the country.
