ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE |
 Case Western Reserve University builds on a proud tradition of biomedical research excellence. Since its founding
in 1843, Case Western Reserve University has been a vanguard of progress in research and education.
The School of Medicine was among the first
to employ full-time instructors as well as spearheading the education of women physicians. In the 1950s, the School of Medicine developed
a novel integrated curriculum for training medical students that was adopted by many other institutions. In the last decade,
Case Western Reserve University continued to innovate by becoming the first medical school to provide laptop computers to all medical students, and was
named "the most wired" University in the Nation, reflecting the adoption of electronic learning strategies.
In 2004, Case Western Reserve University and the
Cleveland Clinic Foundation launched the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University to
train medical students using novel teaching and learning paradigms.
As a major research institution, Case Western Reserve University enjoys outstanding graduate programs in
genomics, cancer biology, the study
of the brain and the biology of infections, as well as emerging programs in imaging research and nanotechnology. We are
top-ranked in NIH funding, and engage hundreds of faculty, students and postdoctoral researchers in our research programs.
We are committed to bringing the brightest faculty and students from a broad range of backgrounds to tackle the biomedical
challenges of the future.
