A "Right-Sized" Program
Our program is large enough for you to enjoy good peer interaction and stimulation, yet small enough for you to get to know your colleagues. People here are friendly, value teamwork, and support one another. Faculty are accessible, supportive, and committed to your education. You will be respected and your contributions will be appreciated.

A Pro-Resident Learning Environment
Because our hospitals provide outstanding ancillary and support services, you will be able to focus on learning. You will also have an opportunity to participate in our M.P.H. program as a resident.

An Outstanding Patient Base for Learning
Our medical community provides primary and tertiary care to a large central population. We are based at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, the largest hospital in downstate Illinois. The hospital is a Level I Trauma Center with a Life Flight Helicopter Program, and a variety of large specialty programs, including transplant and stroke. As a consequence, you will work with an unusually diverse patient group. When you complete your program, you will be well prepared to meet the clinical demands of your specialty or to begin sub-specialty training.

State-of-the-Art Medicine
You will benefit from the learning opportunities presented by a progressive medical community which utilizes advanced medical technology such as PET scanners, digital imaging systems, and surgical gamma knives.

An Attractive Salary and Benefits Package
