Our research goals are broad and ambitious, as are the needs and hopes of our patients. We aim to advance treatment now, and health in the future, by pursuing both fundamental insights and their application to the practice of medicine. Investigators across the College of Medicine are doing cutting-edge research in clinical medicine, in basic biomedical science, and in the translation of basic findings into clinical practice and societal health. Focus areas include cancer, women’s health, neurosciences, cardiac and vascular medicine, infectious disease, and obesity and diabetes. https://medicine.uic.edu/research http://chicago.medicine.uic.edu/research

The UIC Department of Family Medicine Global Community Health Track is a unique opportunity for resident physicians in training to expand their perspective on disparity. We take an in-depth look, through a longitudinal track spanning the second and third years, at issues surrounding community health and, specifically, health disparities. http://sites.google.com/site/globalcommunityhealth/
