“Our 32 accepted students have already shown to be inspiring individuals who have great potential to revolutionize health care,” said Dr. King Li, Dean of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine. “We welcome them to the world’s first engineering-based college of medicine, and we’re ready to equip them to be physician-innovators.”
