SIU School of Medicine is a state-assisted school established in 1970 to help the people of central and southern Illinois in meeting their health care needs through education, research and service. Illinois benefits greatly from the commitment of SIU's faculty and staff. The School of Medicine is working to train caring and competent physicians and develop new models for providing health care in rural areas. Our medical research provides the engine for continued growth in biomedical related economic development and clinical care. Our 170-plus full-time faculty physicians, who practice as SIU Physicians & Surgeons, offer primary care and a variety of specialized services, many not available elsewhere in downstate Illinois. The School and its teaching hospitals make Springfield an expanding academic medical center.
The M.D. program at SIU School of Medicine is conducted at the medical education facilities in both Carbondale and Springfield. The split campus allows the School to maximize the existing resources of a major university and the long-established clinical facilities in Springfield - Memorial Medical Center and St. John's Hospital. The two campuses also serve to reaffirm the School's commitment of providing academic support to practicing physicians in central and southern Illinois.
The School's facilities include University-owned structures and leased space in our affiliated community hospitals. In Carbondale, most of our activities are based in Wheeler and Lindegren Halls and Life Science II and III and Neckers Building. In Springfield, the Medical Instructional Facility houses many of our classrooms, laboratories and offices. The School shares the adjacent Springfield Combined Laboratory Facility with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Public Health. A major addition to SCLF houses new labs for SIU and Public Health. Our clinical offices in Springfield are located primarily in the SIU Clinic/Richard H. Moy Building and the Baylis Medical Building, across from Memorial Medical Center, and in the Pavilion and Carol Jo Vecchie Women and Children's Center, both at St. John's Hospital. The SIU Springfield Center for Family Medicine is located between the two hospitals. The developing SIU Cancer Institute will offer state-of-the-art facilities for cancer research and physician and public education as well as treatment for patients in central and southern Illinois. SIU Cancer Institute clinics are located on both our west campus (Baylis) and east campus (Carol Jo Vecchie).

Although we could tier rank, over the past 25 years we've found no compelling benefit for ranking schools. Students are most successful when they prioritize personal and academic fit over school rank.
