Medical Education in Peoria since 1970 Heading link
In 1970, a group of local physicians and community leaders founded the Peoria Medical School. Their goal was to train physicians who would remain in Peoria and central Illinois communities to practice medicine.
Today that vision has come to fruition as the medical school, now named the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria (UICOMP), prepares future physicians, provides clinical services, and conducts impactful research.

Community Outreach Heading link
UICOMP faculty, staff and learners lead efforts and collaborate with local organizations to serve the community in a multitude of ways, from hosting and working a community garden for the underserved, to leading supply drives for local shelters, to teaching grade school students about the dangers of tobacco use.
