CWRU Partnership

CWRU Partnership

A constructive partnership and mutually advantageous relationship has been built between Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and Cleveland Clinic.

In 2002, the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine (CCLCM) was established as a partnership between Cleveland Clinic and CWRU with a $100 million gift from Al and Norma Lerner.

The Lerner College of Medicine program is one of three distinct medical school programs, specifically called the College Program, within the CWRU School of Medicine. College Program students are awarded a special degree by CWRU: Medical Doctor with Special Qualifications in Biomedical Research.

Cleveland Clinic serves as an outstanding teaching site for all medical students in the CWRU School of Medicine, in addition to being the site for clerkship and core clinical education in the College Program.

As of summer 2019, students from both CCLCM and the CWRU School of Medicine University Program, along with CWRU nursing, dental medicine and physician assistant students, share the same learning environment. Called the Health Education Campus and located across from Cleveland Clinic’s main entrance, this state-of-the-future space was designed specifically to allow these groups of future medical professionals to learn with—and from—each other.

CCLCM students have access to all the resources available to other CWRU medical students. Shared social events start at orientation and include milestone events such as the White Coat Ceremony, Match Day and Commencement. Participation in Doc Opera, special interest groups, panels and other activities continue throughout the year.

Students also interact in their required clinical rotations at area hospitals and healthcare facilities.

2013 Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University announce plans to build a state-of-the-art medical education building to house students from the medical school’s two programs: the College Program at CCLCM and the University Program at CWRU. CWRU students in nursing, dental medicine and physician assistant programs will also train in the facility, rounding out the true interdisciplinary team. CWRU social work students will participate in some interprofessional education activities at the new medical education building.
2017 CWRU and Cleveland Clinic began construction on the new dental clinic, part of the Health Education Campus. The three-story, 132,000-square-foot building will provide a modern environment for patients to receive dental care from dental medicine students under the supervision of CWRU faculty.
2019 The four-story, 477,000-square-foot Health Education Campus opens to 2,200 students.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

CCLCM Stands Against Structural Racism

CCLCM stands with Cleveland Clinic and the city of Cleveland to declare racism as a public health crisis. Together we raise our voices to condemn structural racism and embrace our communities to enact positive change.

At Cleveland Clinic and CCLCM we are deeply committed to anti-racism, diversity, and inclusion in education, healthcare and our communities. We recognize that racial inequities exist in medical education and healthcare. We pledge to continue advancing our efforts, including training the next generation of physician investigators to stand against structural racism, unlearn racial biases, and combat health disparities. In every aspect of our program, from admissions and student affairs to student life and curriculum, we will continue to celebrate diversity, recognize the painful effects of racial trauma and create opportunities for open dialogue and positive change.

The entire CCLCM leadership team is here for our students, faculty and staff. We enthusiastically invite applicants to query our approach to diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism.

The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine is a unique program that is setting new standards for the training of physician investigators. Our goal is to identify candidates who want to further advance the frontiers of biomedical and health services research.

We are committed to bringing the best students from the widest variety of backgrounds who will directly impact the future of medical care. A diverse student body engenders richness of thought and discovery, and we seek individuals with intellectual achievement; interpersonal skills; varied research interests and experiences; varied personal and professional journeys; diverse cultures, race, ethnicities, religions, gender and sexual orientations, socioeconomic backgrounds, and more.

A substantial financial aid program is aimed at lessening the student debt burden and helping to ensure that financial issues do not preclude matriculation of any accepted students.

What We Do

  • The Diversity and Inclusion faculty and staff notify potential applicants about our program through a quarterly newsletter and through recruitment fairs at major regional and national conferences as well as at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
  • We provide current students with resources to successfully navigate the challenges of medical school.
  • We coordinate mentoring opportunities between current students and high school and college students who are interested in careers in healthcare.
  • We build an inclusive community and offer students a platform by assisting the Student Diversity Dinner Steering Committee.
  • We coordinate mentoring, affinity groups and social gatherings with the Cleveland Clinic Office of Diversity and Case Western Reserve University.
  • We support a curriculum to represent diverse patient populations, culturally sensitive care and health equity.
  • We promote service learning opportunities with underserved communities in Cleveland.

Future Directions

  • Attract and keep a diverse faculty to teach and mentor our diverse student body.
  • Create learning opportunities that give students the tools to address unconscious bias, micro-aggressions and being a good ally in their present and future careers.
  • Represent our commitment to diversity and inclusion throughout the Cleveland Clinic enterprise.
