Welcome to the Cleveland Clinic Education Institute site! With the Cleveland Clinic’s longstanding mission of “Caring for the sick, investigating their problems, and educating those who serve,” the Education Institute of the Cleveland Clinic has been an important organizational component since the beginning of the Cleveland Clinic in 1921. With responsibility to serve all the many educational audiences of the Cleveland Clinic, the Education Institute is comprised of many departments (listed on the left), including the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Graduate Medical Education, Continuing Education, Allied Health Education, and Consumer/Patient Health Information.

Comprised of ~200 individuals, the Education Institute is a dedicated team of colleagues which collectively supports the fabulous and prestigious training that this world-class academic medical center offers to its many trainees – medical students, housestaff, fellows, and allied health professional trainees.
