Pre-Medicine

FSC’s articulation agreement with the Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine (OCOM) provides Pre-Medical students with a Guaranteed Interview for possible admission to OCOM. This opportunity is available to any qualified FSC student or alumnus who meets the following criteria:

• Follows a distinct academic protocol.
• Demonstrates high academic achievement and success in their pre-medical coursework.

The Guaranteed Interview Program reflects the exceptional rigor and quality of FSC’s Pre-Medical curriculum, offering a pathway for high-performing graduates to advance in the admissions process at OCOM.

FSC also maintains a well-established Early Acceptance Program (EAP) with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM). This program is open to students pursuing Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, Pre-Pharmacy, or Pre-Podiatry tracks. LECOM’s campuses are located nationwide, including one in Bradenton, Florida.

Key features of the LECOM EAP:

• Provisional Acceptance: Qualified students receive a reserved seat in one of LECOM’s professional schools upon successful completion of the program and a successful interview.
• Application Timing: Students can apply to the EAP as early as their senior year of high school or up until the start of their third undergraduate year, depending on the desired program and track.
