The people in this department have a lot of respect for one another and know they can walk down the hallway and talk with one of their colleagues about research problems and know that at the end of the talk, they may have another idea for a successful research project.

Many hands pulling in one direction can share the load. I want to help the students whose careers will follow mine, and I hope other alums feel the same.

Why UIC?  Because our students are given the foundation to pursue their dreams.  

Last year, our residency match rate was 76% (compared to 58% nationally) in 16 states.  

There’s always room in our legacy for more great minds and caring hearts, whether you’re a student, professor, preceptor, or supporter of our mission.
