Ford City Woman Graduates from Medical College

A Ford City woman graduated from one of the state’s newest medical colleges in May.

Cara A. Lyle graduated with a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree from The Commonwealth Medical College in a commencement ceremony held on May 10.

The Commonwealth Medical College (TCMC) – established in 2008 - is one of the nation’s newest fully-accredited medical colleges. TCMC offers a community-based model of medical education with campuses in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Williamsport.

TCMC offers a Medical Degree (MD) program, Master of Biomedical Sciences (MBS) degree, and MD/Master of Public Health (MPH) dual degree.

The College not only attracts students from within its 16-county region but also across Pennsylvania – as evident in Lyle - and the nation who are interested in studying evidence- and community-based medicine.

The foundation of TCMC began with the establishment of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Medical Education Development Consortium (MEDC) in 2004 and received funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania, and other state, federal and private philanthropic sources.

The medical college partners with more than 25 hospitals and healthcare facilities in the region.
