Detailed Information
In 1968, the Illinois Board of Higher Education sparked the creation of something necessary and bold: Its members recommended that Southern Illinois University establish a medical school. Placing the clinical education programs of the new school in Springfield and basic science programs in Carbondale would make use of the educational resources already available on the downstate campus and the established health care networks in the State Capital.
