Ohio University’s Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine at Cleveland Clinic’s South Pointe Hospital is a joint venture between the university and the hospital, featuring an integrated campus for the study of osteopathic medicine.
The partnership’s primary focus is to address the pressing need for more primary care physicians in northeast Ohio and the rest of the country. Experts predict a national shortage of more than 45,000 primary care physicians within the next decade. This collaboration was designed to increase access to care, stimulate medical innovation and address the need for more affordable, community-based healthcare. The inaugural class began classes in July 2015 and Cleveland Clinic works closely with the college to ensure clinical training slots are available to interested students.
Cleveland Clinic Physician Diversity Scholars Program
Cleveland Clinic is proud to partner with Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM) to introduce the Cleveland Clinic Physician Diversity Scholars Program. The program represents the strong commitment of both organizations to embrace and encourage diversity among the providers caring for the diverse population of our communities, while also ensuring they are providing care of the highest quality.
The Physician Diversity Scholars Program takes a proactive approach to building diversity by giving underrepresented minority medical students a unique opportunity for growth and engagement. The program seeks to help these become well-rounded, accomplished scholars with the ability to make a positive impact on the diversity of Northeast Ohio’s healthcare industry.
