What University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria does

The University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria (UICOMP) is a regional campus of the University of Illinois College of Medicine — the nation's largest public medical school — established in Peoria, Illinois in 1970 as the Peoria School of Medicine and renamed in 1982. UICOMP delivers a four-year Doctor of Medicine (MD) program enrolling approximately 271 students, more than 25 graduate medical education programs (15 ACGME-accredited residency programs, 8 ACGME fellowships, and 7 non-accredited fellowships) training roughly 343 residents and 52 fellows, and ACCME-accredited continuing medical education for practicing physicians. The institution pairs medical education with a clinical operation comprising the Pediatric Resource Center, Positive Health Solutions (HIV/AIDS care), University Pediatrics, the Midlife and Menopause Clinic, and the Psychiatry and Psychology Outpatient Center, collectively serving more than 45,000 patients annually. Research infrastructure spans the Cancer Biology and Pharmacology department, the Center 4 Health Research, a central Institutional Review Board, the Biosafety Committee, and the Jump Simulation and Education Center — a $25-million collaboration with OSF HealthCare that uses computerized mannequin technology for skills training. Distinguished scholarly concentration programs include the Rural Student Physician Program (RSPP), Equity Innovation Medicine (EquiMED), and the Urban Medicine Program (UMed).

As a state-funded institution under the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois System, UICOMP's revenue mix comprises state appropriations, MD program tuition, clinical practice revenue generated by faculty physicians and trainees at three major affiliate hospitals, federal and state research grants, philanthropic gifts channeled through the development office, and continuing medical education fees. Its go-to-market approach for trainees funnels through the centralized UIC MD Admissions process, the GME match for residents and fellows, and the AAMC Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) platform for visiting electives; clinical services are distributed through OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Children's Hospital of Illinois, and Carle Health–Methodist Hospital, with the patient population drawn from a 2-million-person referral base. Historical funding inflows include a $25-million Jump Trading gift (2011), $2.4 million in state bond funds (1991), a $1-million Ryan White Care Act award (1994), and integration as an NIH CTSA partner in the $30M+ UIC CCTS award renewal (2025).

UICOMP is structurally embedded in the Central Illinois healthcare market through teaching affiliations with three hospital systems co-located within six blocks of campus — OSF Saint Francis Medical Center (Level 1 Trauma Center), Children's Hospital of Illinois (the only full-service tertiary pediatric hospital in downstate Illinois), and Carle Health–Methodist Hospital — supported by outpatient partners including Heartland Health Services and the Pediatric Resource Center. The institution's footprint extends internationally through partnerships with Mbarara University of Science and Technology (Uganda, 2020) and the Government of Himachal Pradesh (India, 2026). UICOMP is led by Regional Dean Meenakshy Aiyer, MD (named February 2022), and supported by 264 full-time faculty, 96 part-time faculty, and 1,407 non-salaried clinical instructors across specialty and subspecialty disciplines.
