As a result, we have met new people, had new experiences, and incorporated our newfound wisdom into our lives and hopefully made ourselves better people. The combination of things I learned at the program truly makes it a unique program. It is multi-faceted and thus a valuable asset to any career path.”

Cleveland Clinic’s Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute is recognized worldwide for excellence in patient care, teaching and research. It merges Cleveland Clinic’s urology and nephrology programs. This year, U.S. News & World Report ranked our urology program No. 1 and the kidney disease program No. 2 in the nation.

Please visit us at: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/departments/urology-kidney

About Cleveland ClinicNinety-two years ago, four physicians founded a new medical center in Cleveland. It was a nonprofit group practice where doctors from many specialties could collaborate for efficiency and better patient care. Their mission was “to care for the sick, investigate their problems and educate those who serve.” Located in Cleveland, Ohio, Cleveland Clinic is a nonprofit, multispecialty academic medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. Today, with more than 1,400 beds on Cleveland Clinic main campus and 4,435 beds system-wide, Cleveland Clinic is one of the largest and most respected hospitals in the country.

Today, Cleveland Clinic is a main campus, eight community hospitals and more than 150 outpatient locations (including 18 family health centers) in northern Ohio, and facilities in Florida, Nevada, Toronto and Abu Dhabi. Our locations are linked by health information technology and critical care transport, getting patients to the right facility, at the right time, for the right care. Cleveland Clinic is organized into patient-centered institutes based on single diseases or organ systems. Each institute combines medical and surgical services at the same location under the same leadership to improve patient care and experience. Each institute is required to establish benchmarks and measure and improve quality. Institutes are also required to publish annual outcomes books showing volumes, results, innovations, publications and other information relevant to patients and referring physicians. Cleveland Clinic integrates its far-flung system with an extensive electronic medical records system. This system includes participating community physicians and patients who are able to access test results and portions of their medical record remotely via the Internet. Cleveland Clinic’s model of medicine has made it possible for us to achieve cost savings on a vast scale over the past several years. Our mantra is “Patients First.” Our motto is “To Act as a Unit.” Our goal is to give every patient the best outcome and experience. That’s the Cleveland Clinic way.
