We are delighted you are interested in applying to a Cleveland Clinic graduate medical education training program.

Cleveland Clinic is a not-for-profit, multispecialty academic medical center located in Cleveland, Ohio. Since our founding in 1921, education has been an integral element of our mission, which is the "care of the sick, investigation of their problems, and further education of those who serve."

The Cleveland Clinic Advantage

You'll find many advantages to training at Cleveland Clinic. For example:

  • You'll have choices. Cleveland Clinic sponsors one of the nation's largest graduate medical education programs, with 100-plus training programs approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), along with 90 training programs outside of ACGME oversight.
  • You'll gain a world of experience. Because Cleveland Clinic is one of the world's largest, busiest healthcare centers, all our patients are “teaching cases.” Our trainees see rare, complex and unusual cases in addition to routine medical problems. What's more, you'll work with patients from various cultural backgrounds.
  • You'll train at one of the nation's best hospitals. Cleveland Clinic is nationally ranked and globally recognized as the world leader in cardiovascular care. Many major medical breakthroughs have happened at Cleveland Clinic including, most recently, the world’s first deep brain stimulation surgery to restore function after stroke, the first North American birth of a baby following a deceased-donor uterine transplant and the development of a vaccine to prevent deadly triple-negative breast cancer. 
  • You'll train using state-of-the-art technology. For example, our newly updated Simulation and Advanced Skills Center is designed for physicians, nurses and allied healthcare providers to practice teamwork and communication skills; learn specific clinical skills; and develop technical skills such as laparoscopy.
  • You'll discover new things. All our trainees engage in cutting-edge research in basic sciences, clinical medicine and biomedical engineering alongside our scientists and clinical faculty.

Guided by a solid tradition of excellence and a commitment to putting "Patients First," we continue to pursue scientific investigation, champion clinical training and deliver the finest healthcare possible.
