Fueling interdisciplinary education and research to prepare physicians to advance health care

Carle Illinois College of Medicine's Department of Biomedical and Translational Sciences leverages world-class teaching and expertise from across the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus. Our goals: to prepare a new generation of physician innovators who are grounded not only in medical science and the biosciences, but also engineering principles, innovation and the humanities; to fuel research and innovation that reaches beyond the boundaries of any single discipline; to advance human health and the human condition.

REAL-WORLD CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

Clinical Science Faculty members guide students through immersion in the clinical setting

Our partnerships with Carle Health and other clinical affiliates offer students in-depth clinical experiences in internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry, neurology, family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology. At Carle Illinois, clinical immersion begins earlier than at many medical schools.
