Company Profile
Southern Illinois University School of Medicine
Company Overview
Our physician faculty provides tertiary medical care, including a full-range of services in several dozen specialty clinics. Patients come from throughout Illinois and the Midwest to our clinical facilities in Springfield and our Family Practice Centers in Carbondale, Decatur and Quincy. More than 390,000 patient visits occurred last year. Our physician faculty, known as SIU Physicians & Surgeons, also provides specialty care and consultative services through 72 outreach programs in 52 other towns.
A university - and therefore its medical school - has as its fundamental purpose the advancement of knowledge through research for the benefit of society. Our research covers a wide range of basic and clinical sciences. The SIU Cancer Institute and the Springfield Combined Laboratory Facility both will enable us to conduct more research that will benefit the region.
