To meet the growing need for primary care physicians and to provide the best care for patients, the Heritage College and Cleveland Clinic are transforming medical education. Together, we are responding to rapid and dramatic changes in health care delivery with our own dramatic changes to the way physicians are trained. The Transformative Care Continuum (TCC) is an accelerated pathway based on medical competencies that prepares students for careers in family medicine through a continuous experience from medical school through residency and beyond, with deep experiences with patients and health care delivery teams at its foundation. The program's first cohort of students started in August 2018 and are scheduled to complete residency in 2024.
Join the Director of the Transformative Care Continuum (TCC), Dr. Leanne Chrisman-Khawam, to learn more about:

Work in a new high-tech environment with experienced family physicians who practice full-spectrum, community-based primary care.
The Heritage College and Cleveland Clinic are at the forefront of a growing movement to adapt medical education to meet the needs of rapidly changing, 21st-century health care systems. In 2015, the Heritage College was one of 21 medical schools nationwide chosen to join the 11 founding members of the American Medical Association “Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium.” Consortium members are creating the “medical school of the future” by transforming how future physicians are trained.
The American Medical Association is working with the Heritage College and others to shape medical education's future.
