Student Life

A group of students walk together outside.

The College of Medicine in Chicago stands out for its dedication to serving a diverse and underserved patient population in the University Medical District, including the University of Illinois Hospital and affiliated clinics throughout the city. Our location maintains close proximity to downtown Chicago and the vibrant, unique neighborhoods like Little Italy and Humboldt Park, which contribute distinct character to city life.

As a result, we attract a diverse and compassionate group of students with a broad range of experiences and interests, fostering a rich and inclusive campus culture.

College of Medicine Informational Resources (COMIR) provides helpdesk and desktop support to the whole college, including students, residents and fellows. Submit a help request ticket or learn more about all that they do.
