As part of the nation's largest public medical school, the College of Medicine at Peoria offers a unique balance of classroom education and clinical experience. Since our founding in 1970, our mission has been to improve healthcare in our community by serving as a leader in education, research and patient care.

Our programs embody a comprehensive approach to education by addressing the needs of the individual through medical school and residency training, as well as continuing medical education opportunities for practitioners. 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.

Because of our committed faculty and strong research programs, we are recognized as leaders in a variety of fields, including pediatrics, rural medicine, and cancer biology research. 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 Methodist Medical Center of Illinois.
