Medical Student Teaching at The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University
On July 6, 2004, the Lerner College of Medicine welcomed its first class. The program is designed to train graduates who will have a solid combination of clinical and research skills and a passion for scientific inquiry. Graduates will earn a medical degree with special qualifications in biomedical research from the Case School of Medicine.
The Cleveland Clinic serves as a permanent teaching site for the Case and Lerner medical students. The student will work with emergency department physicians actively participating in the evaluation of emergency department patients. The student will be expected to see patients de novo and formulate a plan, which will be discussed with the staff physician. The student will be encouraged to perform emergency department procedures under the direction of the staff physician.
Cleveland Clinic Emergency Medicine faculty also provide research opportunities, mentoring and other clinical electives.
