Nearwell has furnished apartments for clinical rotations at Cleveland Clinic, from a studio across from main campus to homes a few minutes away.

A quiet place to study and sleep between days at the hospital.
Minutes From Main Campus
Close to the hospital, quiet enough to study.
A walk or a short drive
About 30 of our apartments are a walk from Cleveland Clinic main campus. The others are a few minutes by car.
Free parking at the apartment
Your car has a free place at home. On campus, you park where Cleveland Clinic assigns you.
Quiet by design
Residential buildings, for reading at night and sleeping after a call shift.
Built Around a Four-Week Block
Arrive with a suitcase the weekend before you start.
Your dates, no lease
Visiting student rotations at Cleveland Clinic run in four-week blocks that start on a Monday. Book the dates of your block.
Room for a second rotation
If a second block is approved, message the team to extend your stay. They try to keep you in the same apartment, and when that one is booked they find you a path into another. Tell them early.
Nothing to set up
Furnished, with a full kitchen and in-unit laundry. Wi-Fi and utilities are already running.

Whichever Program Brings You Here
What Cleveland Clinic publishes for each, and what that means for your dates.
Visiting medical students
4 weeks
Per rotation, up to two
Rotations last four weeks, and you can do two. You hear whether you are accepted about 60 days before the start, which leaves about eight weeks to book.
Visiting residents and fellows
10 weeks
Paperwork processing time
Lengths vary by program. Cleveland Clinic gives its paperwork a processing time of 10 weeks, so there is time to settle housing before you arrive.
International observers
1 month
Length of the observership
The observership lasts one month. Cleveland Clinic states that it has no on-campus housing and that living costs are the visitor's own.

Visiting medical students
Before Your First Monday
Five things Cleveland Clinic tells visiting students, in one place.
Where to report
The program sends the time and place the week before you start.
Your badge
It is issued on your first day at the badge office in the JJ North Building. Bring a state ID or your visa.
Parking
On day one, park in a visitor garage and ask the Parking Office for an assignment. Cleveland Clinic parking shows both garages.
Getting to campus
Cleveland Clinic offers visiting students no shuttle. The HealthLine bus runs along Euclid Avenue 24 hours a day.
Meals
They are yours to cover, except when you are on call. One full grocery store is within walking distance of main campus: see groceries and pharmacies near Cleveland Clinic.
The full checklist is in what to arrange for a four-week rotation.

Furnished apartments near Cleveland Clinic main campus, ready the weekend before your block starts. Check your dates and book in a few minutes.
Have questions?
Quick answers to what students and visiting clinicians ask before booking a rotation stay.
No. Cleveland Clinic states that it has no on-campus housing, and its Elective Program lists living costs for the month as the student's own expense. Visiting students, residents and observers arrange their own place to stay.
Yes. Nearwell has no minimum stay, so you can book the dates of your block. Rotations for visiting students start on a Monday, and most people arrive the weekend before.
Message the team as soon as you know. They try to keep you in the same apartment, and when that one is already booked they find you a path into another. The hard case is a last-minute request in a week when everything is full.
About 30 of our apartments are a walk from main campus, and one studio set up for clinical rotations is across from it. The others are a few minutes by car.
