UIC Urban Medicine Program

UIC Urban Medicine Program The mission of UMed is to train physician-leaders to serve urban underserved communities, dismantle disparities and advocate for social justice

UMed is a longitudinal, four-year curriculum that takes advantage of UIC's location and breadth of clinical and community opportunities to prepare physician-leaders for urban communities. Graduates of the UMed curriculum will be equipped to deal with the challenges confronting the urban population, regardless of which specialty they enter. The medical care needs of urban residents continue to chal

lenge physicians and others involved in health care delivery. Disparities in health outcomes based on gender, ethnic, and a number of socio-economic factors have been well documented in the literature, and are more likely to be encountered in diverse urban settings. As a leader in educating a diverse physician workforce, UIC is uniquely positioned to address the preparation of future leaders in urban medicine.
