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 will begin classes during the 2017-2018 academic year and will offer terminal joint degrees connecting the fields of medicine and engineering. The college is a public–private partnership between the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Carle Foundation Hospital.[1]

Plans

The college will offer a MD degree with a technical research project, a MD integrated with a Master’s degree in Engineering with a thesis/project, or a MD integrated with a PhD in quantitative engineering and sciences for a MD-PhD dual degree program. All degrees earned at the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine will be awarded by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[3] 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.[4]

The first class of incoming students are scheduled to enroll for the fall 2017 semester for a class size of 25 students, with plans to increase the student body to 50 students by the 2023-2024 academic year.[2][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]
