Overview
In 2007, Cleveland Clinic recognized the importance of educating our future health science caregivers by forming the Center for Health Sciences Education. The center coordinates Cleveland Clinic's own internal training programs with the external affiliated training programs offered at educational facilities throughout Ohio and across the nation. In addition, we offer onboarding for health sciences students, affiliation agreements with external academic institutions, and a multitude of other services related to the educational mission of Cleveland Clinic.
