Awards
Students have the opportunity to compete for many awards, internal and external, ranging from the Cleveland Clinic Innovator Award to the Annual Abstract Poster Competition from the American College of Physicians. And awards are earned in various categories, from research and academic performance to leadership skills.
Grants & Patents
Grants help fund clinical investigation, and many of our students, who are studying to become physician investigators, have been awarded significant grants. Some of our students have also applied for and received patents.

Publications
Publishing clinical findings in peer-reviewed journals is a priority for our students. Not only does publishing earn academic recognition, but it is also the gold standard for sharing new medical knowledge with the world.
Abstracts, Posters, Oral Presentations
Presenting an abstract or a poster, or making an oral presentation demonstrates scientific achievement. Most often, these presentations are made at national medical conferences, allowing the students to earn additional academic recognition.
Teaching & Service
While it might sound surprising that a medical student would teach, our students are encouraged to share their knowledge with others. Teaching allows students to test their own understanding while giving others the benefit of their knowledge. Most often, our students help teach students who are studying to become physician assistants.
Our students also are encouraged to give back to the community through service. Many work in health clinics in underserved areas, and others participate in an annual medical mission to Peru.
