U of I medical college students get practical medical experience in the first 60 days.

Two years ago, medical students didn’t experience practical delivery of medicine until their third year of medical school. But beginning last year, first-year medical students are paired with a practicing physician within the first 60 days. Two University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria professors and a second-year student discuss how it benefits both students and their future patients.
