"It is our intention to broaden our medical student education activities and to have a medical school on our campus," Dr. Andrew Fishleder, chairman of the clinic's education division, said Monday. The large medical foundation, which operates Cleveland Clinic Hospital, is determining whether to operate the school or combine with a university, he said. The Cleveland Clinic has been helping with the training of some Ohio State University medical students in Cleveland since 1991 as part of a cooperative agreement that expires in 2003.

Ohio has seven medical schools, including one already in Cleveland. Cleveland Clinic officials say they intend to train only a small number of doctors, and in a specific area where they believe there is great need. One area of need involves physicians doing medical research. "The med school part is just one part of the whole mission," said Dr. Eric Topol, the clinic's newly appointed chief academic officer.
