A new chapter in medical education is underway.

Orientation Week welcomed the inaugural cohort of students at IllinoisCOM. Throughout the week, students connected with faculty coaches, learning communities, and peers while laying the foundation for a strong sense of belonging and support.

This pioneering class arrives with a shared commitment to advancing healthcare, addressing inequities, and shaping the future of medicine. Their passion, curiosity, and vision reflect the values that inspired the creation of IllinoisCOM.

We are proud to welcome these future physicians and look forward to the impact they will make in the years ahead.
