Partners in Education: Medical Thematic Program
John Hay High School and the Cleveland Clinic
Cleveland, Ohio

The Medical Thematic Program is a four-year science program that combines high school science courses in anatomy, biology, chemistry, and physics with two years of clinic internship work under the supervision of clinic doctors, lab technicians, research scientists, and administrators. Students in the program spend their senior year completing 300 or more hours of on-site work at the clinic where they produce a major research project of their own design or one that is closely tied to the work of one of the hospital's research or medical teams.

 
"The footage of the kids in the Cleveland Clinic is fantastic and quite moving. It will certainly be effective to use with the many health career partnerships around the country."

"The kids are compelling and come through loud and clear. So do the projects and the rigor."
