The school began as The Ohio College of Chiropody in Euclid Avenue's Republic Building. The founders were inspired to begin by Ohio 's passage of the Platt-Ellis Bill, which regulated medical specialties. The first graduating class included six women. (The enrollment is currently 359 students. 76% of these students are Caucasian , 9% are African-American , and 7% are Asian or Pacific Islander .) By 1976, the college had moved to its current location, 4.5 acres wide, on Carnegie Avenue. The college operates the Cleveland Foot And Ankle Clinic and its satellites. It is currently affiliated with many Cleveland area Hospitals , including Huron Road Hospital, Richmond Heights General Hospital, Youngstown Osteopathic Hospital, Hillcrest Hospital, and the Veteran Affairs Medical Center and Suburban Community Hospital. Additionally, 45 other hospitals and around 300 private practices provide Externship s to the college's students. In fact, the college has a 100% residency placement rate for graduating students and has done so for 15 years. REFERENCES
