THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

HAS ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE STUDENT BODIES

OF ANY MEDICAL SCHOOL IN THE U.S.

SHAPING THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST MINDS

Four years of training, fours years of waiting for the one moment that will chart the course to the rest of their career. That’s the life of a medical student. Their fate is determined by one small envelope on one very special day, Match Day.

The day's results determine where they will complete their residency training.

In anticipation of that very important day, we prepare our graduates to provide compassionate patient care, to demonstrate leadership and advocacy in health care, to provide care for underserved urban and rural populations, and to translate research discoveries into clinical practice.
