The University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria is one of
the regional campuses that make up the nation's largest public
medical school. The Peoria campus is known among students for its
strong academic setting, small class sizes, rigorous curriculum,
and hands-on clerkships. It includes numerous residency programs,
including 30 categorical pediatric residents and 32 combined
medicine-pediatrics residents. This, combined with the large
patient referral base and exceptional facilities, make it a great
opportunity for physicians seeking the ideal combination of
teaching and practicing medicine in a research-based university
setting.

Hospital of Illinois, the only full-service tertiary hospital for
children in downstate Illinois. It is a 144-bed, full-service
hospital-within-a-hospital, with more than 120 pediatric
specialists in 40+ subspecialties. CHOI has the largest and only

a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center and a Pediatric Critical Care
Center. Located on the campus of OSF SFMC, it's the pediatric
teaching affiliate of UICOMP, the state's only major pediatric
teaching hospital outside Chicago—and home to a wide variety of
pediatric research efforts. The Jump Trading Simulation and
Education Center, or JUMP (a collaborative project between UICOMP
and OSF HealthCare) provides training to UICOMP residents and
medical students, as well as GME level programming in innovative
simulated virtual care delivery settings, replicating all areas of
patient care. The hospital is also proud to house the St. Jude
Midwest Affiliate, which brings some of the care and services
offered by St. Jude in Memphis to central Illinois.
