The Carle Illinois College of Medicine was established on March 12, 2015 after the University of Illinois Board of Trustees approved the creation of the new college.[1][2] The college welcomed its inaugural class of 32 students July 2, 2018. The engineering-based college of medicine currently offers an M.D. degree focused at the intersection of medicine and engineering.[3]
Plans
The college is offering an MD degree, with plans for a future MD/PhD program. All degrees earned at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine will be awarded by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[4] In November 2015 it was announced that the University of Illinois and Carle Foundation Hospital had signed a 10-year research affiliation agreement with the intent to encourage and enable new biomedical advances at the newly formed college of medicine.[5]
Dr. Rashid Bashir and Dr. Robert Good were selected as co-chairs for the Core Curriculum Group committee charged with designing curriculum for the college.[6] Dr. Bashir was hired as the executive associate dean in the college in September, 2017. In August 2016, King Li was named first Dean of the college of medicine.[7]
Carle Illinois received preliminary LCME accreditation on October 10, 2017.
