Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Cleveland Clinic Foundation located?
Cleveland Clinic Foundation is located in Cleveland, OH.
Is Cleveland Clinic Foundation ACGME-accredited?
Yes — Cleveland Clinic Foundation holds continued ACGME accreditation.
Does Cleveland Clinic Foundation accept International Medical Graduates (IMGs)?
Cleveland Clinic Foundation has not reported an IMG resident percentage to FREIDA, so MatchPath publishes none for this program — the figure is missing at the source, not withheld. Its visa sponsorship and PGY-1 salary are shown on this page wherever the program reports them. All of it is free to view, with no account needed.
Does Cleveland Clinic Foundation sponsor J-1 or H-1B visas?
Cleveland Clinic Foundation does not currently report J-1 or H-1B visa sponsorship to FREIDA. That means no sponsorship is listed at the source rather than that the program has ruled it out — confirm directly with the program if visa status decides your list.
What USMLE Step 2 CK score does Cleveland Clinic Foundation require?
Cleveland Clinic Foundation does not report a minimum USMLE Step 2 CK score, so MatchPath publishes no cutoff for this program — most programs do not publish one. Use its IMG percentage and the specialty's overall match data to gauge fit instead; both are on this page. All of it is free to view, with no account needed.
What is the resident salary at Cleveland Clinic Foundation?
Cleveland Clinic Foundation has not reported a PGY-1 salary to FREIDA, so this page shows it as not reported. Salary is set by the sponsoring institution and rises each training year through completion; the program or its GME office can confirm the current figure.
How do I apply to Cleveland Clinic Foundation?
US residency programs accept applications through ERAS and rank applicants through the NRMP Match. Applications open in the fall, interviews run through winter, and Match results release in March. Save Cleveland Clinic Foundation to your MatchPath tracker to manage it across the cycle.
Does Cleveland Clinic Foundation have unfilled or off-cycle positions?
Unfilled positions are offered through SOAP during Match week, and off-cycle vacancies can open year-round. MatchPath's Vacancies feed tracks open Clinical neurophysiology residency program positions as they appear.
