University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated, four-year categorical OB/GYN residency based primarily at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, a tertiary referral hospital in Peoria, with additional experience at Carle Health Methodist. The program exposes residents to the full breadth of subspecialty rotations—gynecologic oncology, maternal-fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology/ART, and urogynecology—alongside a longitudinal continuity clinic panel, positioning graduates for either general practice or fellowship. Research is explicitly required for graduation, supported by dedicated research services, biostatistics help, and an institution-wide Research Day, reflecting the College of Medicine's broader academic-medicine identity. Residents also carry significant teaching responsibility, supervising third- and fourth-year medical students, indicating the program values physicians comfortable with both clinical autonomy and an academic/teaching role within a mid-sized regional tertiary center.
