University of Illinois at Peoria - College of Medicine

Collaborative Relationships

The success of our educational programs is a reflection of the collaborative relationships we maintain with our affiliated hospitals and organizations, including OSF Saint Francis Medical Center and UnityPoint Health-Methodist. Through our intensive clinical clerkships, our students are trained to see themselves as part of an interdisciplinary healthcare team that is responsible for patient care management.
