context_page_description: Case Western Reserve School of Medicine is one of the graduate schools of Case Western Reserve University, and is located in the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. The School of Medicine is among the top 25 medical schools in the United States and is the top-ranked medical school of Ohio in research per U.S. News & World Report. Additionally, CWRU School of Medicine is the largest biomedical research center in Ohio.
  Prospective students have the option of three degree paths leading to a medical degree at the School of Medicine: the traditional "University Program" whose origins go back to 1843, the "College Program" at the Cleveland Clinic that started in 2002; and the Medical Scientist Training Program, which awards MD and PhD degrees upon graduation. Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine was the first medical school to offer the dual degree MD-PhD program to its students in 1956, nearly a decade before the NIH developed the MSTP.
