Why Academic Medicine
Collaboration between Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and our affiliated hospital systems—Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, MetroHealth System and Louis Stokes VA—is at the core of achieving our mission to create medical breakthroughs through research and train the physicians of tomorrow.
