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 77%.  

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.
