Cleveland Clinic Welcomes our '13 Class of Summer Interns!



This summer, more than 100 regional students will complete     nine-week or two-week internships working alongside nationally renowned healthcare professionals, sponsored by Cleveland Clinic Office of Civic Education Initiatives. These intensive and hands-on programs promise to inspire the next generation of Health Care Providers by expanding students’ learning experiences beyond the classroom doors. 

We also welcome participants in The Northeast Ohio Research Education Medicine Alliance (NEOREMA) program. The Office continues to strengthen its ties within the community as it partners with regional schools, Cleveland State University, Cuyahoga Community College, Kent State University, and Oberlin College to provide enriching and innovative educational opportunities for those selected students. This collaboration with the region’s leaders in research, education, and medicine, will provide enriching and innovative educational opportunities for program participants.  

This year, the Office invited talented, regional emerging high school freshmen into the Healthcare+ Pathways™ Program. This new and innovative program is designed to expose students to various careers and aspects in the fields of science, math, medicine, engineering, entrepreneurship, and technology. Students will learn from world-renowned healthcare professionals to develop the skill sets needed to think critically, problem-solve, communicate, and challenge their own learning to compete in a global economy and lay the foundation for their high school years.  

At the culminating graduation for this year’s 2013 Summer Internship Program the Office of Civic Education Initiatives will boast over 1,150 students as having participated since our launch in 2005.
