Introduction
Case Western Reserve University originated in 1967,
when Western Reserve College and Case Institute of
Technology combined to form the largest biomedical
research institution in Ohio. The School of Medicine
was established in 1943, when a medical department
was added to Western Reserve College. In 1952 the
school pioneered the introduction of an integrated,
multidisciplinary, and problem-based innovative medical curriculum that was adopted by many other
institutions, in part or in whole.

Admissions
The basic premedical science courses and 1 semester
of English composition is required. More than half the
places are filled by residents. Applicants from minority groups are encouraged. The selection process is
influenced by the goal of generating a divergent student population both geographically and in the terms
of undergraduate school represented. For this reason,
academic qualifications such as grades, MCAT scores,
and letters of recommendation are not the sole criteria
used in the selection process. Successful applicants are
those who have an attractive set of credentials demonstrating both achievement and potential. An interview
is granted to candidates being seriously considered for
admission. Transfer and advanced standing: Each candidate is considered individually.
