The correct name is The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. It is a 5 year program with the school paying for your last year. I believe that final year is totally research oriented, but I may be wrong. They only accept 32 students and are claiming alot of individualized attention, etc. The hospital is AMAZING, but not to flame anyone, Cleveland is, well, Cleveland. As far as ranking, they haven't had a graduating class yet, so I don't think anyone knows how it will be viewed yet. There was a very active thread about this school awhile back, so do a little research and check it out. Maybe if this is bumped up, you'll get some more responses. Good luck
 
CCLCM degrees are granted through case and they are considered case students. They wont be "ranked" separately any time soon (similar to the JMP at UCSF)
