Special Features
Our Transitional Year training program offers a sound clinical experience at a large, tertiary care medical center; because our hospital serves as a referral center for the central Illinois region, the wide variety of clinical exposure that our residents see is a true asset to creating a strong foundation of clinical medicine. This strong foundation will help to confidently launch you on to your advanced training in whatever field of medicine you have chosen. -The city of Peoria is a great place to live and train, offering a lower cost of living and relief from traffic congestion and commute times as well as an ever-evolving food & restaurant scene! For a quick get-away, Peoria is within 2-3hours of the Chicago and St. Louis metro areas!
