The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine is a medical school program formed through a partnership between Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. It trains physician-investigators by integrating basic science, research, and clinical medicine in a five-year curriculum. The program restricts entering classes to 32 students per year, all of whom receive full-tuition scholarships and are assessed through a portfolio system rather than traditional grades. It was established in 2002 with a $100 million gift from Al and Norma Lerner and operates as a joint effort by the two founding institutions. The target audience comprises medical students pursuing physician-investigator careers, with many pursuing an optional master's degree from Case Western Reserve University.
