Benefits for U of I College of Medicine faculty

Physicians share their clinical expertise with our students and residents, and the college shares cutting edge research, information management tools, and other campus benefits with faculty.

Many of our physicians say this is the real benefit to being on faculty with the U of I College of Medicine.
