Plans
The college is offering an MD degree, with plans for a future MD/PhD program. All degrees earned at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine will be awarded by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In November 2015 it was announced that the University of Illinois and Carle Foundation Hospital had signed a 10-year research affiliation agreement with the intent to encourage and enable new biomedical advances at the newly formed college of medicine.
Dr. Rashid Bashir and Dr. Robert Good were selected as co-chairs for the Core Curriculum Group committee charged with designing curriculum for the college. Dr. Bashir was hired as the executive associate dean in the college in September, 2017. In August 2016, King Li was named first Dean of the college of medicine.
Carle Illinois received preliminary LCME accreditation on October 10, 2017, and is actively recruiting students to begin in July 2018.
