School of Medicine

The School of Medicine’s mission is to improve global health by linking research to populations in a superb educational environment. Case Western Reserve School of Medicine is the intellectual glue for health education and research faculty across Cleveland's academic medical centers—Cleveland Clinic, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, MetroHealth System and University Hospitals—coordinating a network of transdisciplinary efforts that touches a myriad of diseases and empowers diversity and inclusive excellence.

Guided by these principles, inspired by the reputation for excellence and innovation in medical education and research our school has earned since its founding in 1843, and informed by the renowned expertise of our faculty and staff, we are eager to build upon Dean Gerson’s progress in his tenure to advance the research, translation and educational enterprises at the School of Medicine.
