The Cleveland Clinic, consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in the United States, was established in 1921 as a center for interdisciplinary patient care, research, and education. But, over the last century, that goal has been undermined by the clinic’s expansion into a sprawling 165-acre campus-located five miles east of downtown Cleveland near Case Western Reserve University (CWRU)–whose dental, nursing, and medical schools have operated as distinct institutions in separate quarters. Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University decided to improve coordination among students who should be learning to work together.
