Residency Programs

Alton

The SIU Alton Family Medicine Residency Program is part of the graduate medical education division of Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. The school was founded to meet the on-going need for physicians in southern/central Illinois and has had, from its inception, an orientation towards primary care in general and Family Medicine in particular. The Department of Family & Community Medicine is responsible for the administration of the academic residency program. The Department operates residency programs in Alton, Carbondale, Decatur, Quincy, and Springfield and a physician assistant training program in Carbondale. The Department of Family & Community Medicine is committed to the training of caring, competent, and efficient family physicians. While the general orientation of the department is towards the training of providers who will practice in southern/central Illinois, we recognize that many of our graduates will practice elsewhere and our training is not restricted to the needs of our local area. The Department is involved in many other academic pursuits including research, undergraduate medical education, and the training of physician assistants.
