The Center for Health Sciences Education appreciates your interest in Cleveland Clinic’s internal health science programs. This brochure is designed to provide a brief explanation of each program and names of individuals to contact for more information.

You will note that the preadmission requirements and application process is unique for each program.

For example, some programs may require students to have a high school diploma or GED and a few college

courses, while others may require students to have a baccalaureate degree. Also, the instructional length of

programs varies from several weeks or months to 1 or 2 years. The Cleveland Clinic is not a degree granting

institution; therefore, students may not qualify for financial aid. (NOTE: The School of Diagnostic Imaging’s

Radiology Technology program is an exception. Their students are eligible for federal financial aid.) If you

are interested in a specific health science discipline and would like more information, you are encouraged to

contact the program director.
