The Lerner College offers a five-year program with the goal of training physician-scientists. The 3rd or 4th year is spent doing full-time research, and a thesis is required for graduation.
On May 14, 2008, Cleveland Clinic announced that all students entering the program would receive full tuition scholarships.
