Overview
Why Choose Cleveland Clinic for Your Residency?
Welcome! We are so glad you’ve stopped by to learn about Cleveland Clinic's Family Medicine Residency Program at Lakewood Family Health Center.
Our program is designed to train physicians who are highly competent, empathetic, and able to treat diverse patient populations. We have a long-standing commitment to improving health outcomes and we are attentive to those with health inequities in our community. We focus on helping our residents to develop the skills and resiliency to have fulfilling personal and professional lives as physician leaders as well as to provide excellence in patient-centered care while being an active part of their community.
Are you a medical student or a recent graduate who has decided to enter family medicine and ask yourself if you should choose a community or university/academic residency training program? We believe that the Cleveland Clinic Family Medicine Residency Program provides the opportunity to reap the best of what both worlds have to offer. Our residents train at the Lakewood Family Health Center in the Center for Family Medicine for their outpatient experience, and inpatient experiences are at Fairview Hospital.
As a full-service community hospital, Fairview offers family medicine residents the opportunity to learn directly from experienced attending physicians and sub-specialists in a friendly, personalized environment. Residents provide continuing care for patients similar to those that they can expect to manage in their future careers as family physicians. At the same time, the educational resources of Cleveland Clinic provide residents with the opportunity to learn cutting-edge medicine at one of the nations’ best-known and respected academic hospital systems.
Cleveland Clinic Family Medicine Residency challenges our residents to become outstanding, well-rounded family physicians dedicated to the service of their patients, committed to the profession and to ending long-standing systemic racism that has resulted in health disparities. We look forward to sharing our enthusiasm for our residency and our unique educational and clinical partnership with Cleveland Clinic.
