As an institution of academic medicine, research is at the core of our work. Physicians rely on the scientific method with each patient encounter, and research allows for improved disease prevention, treatment and diagnosis. Not only does research provide valuable insight to understanding health disparities and eliminating gaps, but research also contributes to improved patient experiences and healthier communities.
Research is conducted across the College of Medicine, with unique opportunities and initiatives available at each campus. Learn more about what is happening in Chicago and Rockford and connect with personnel across the organization by visiting the college website.
