About Us
The Carle Illinois College of Medicine at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the world’s first engineering-based medical school. Our curriculum is built at the intersection of engineering and medicine, with most courses designed by a team composed of a basic scientist, clinician, and engineer. The curriculum infuses basic sciences, clinical sciences, engineering and innovation, and medical humanities into all four years. We place high value on patient-centered care, systems-based delivery, innovation and research, and early clinical exposure.
We envision a future where, by leveraging engineering and advanced technology, doctors provide more humanistic care for patients. A future where excellent health care is available to everyone who needs it — no matter who they are or where they live.
Our Values
We are driven by key values that permeate our culture and drive our curriculum: Compassion, Competence, Curiosity, Creativity, Collaboration, and Diversity.
