"A medical school's first priority should be educating medical students." Richard Moy, MD

In the early ‘70s, Founding Dean Richard Moy, MD, and the faculty at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine created a unique haven for educators. Today, SIU’s seasoned academic corps continue to be leaders in world-class medical education.

Objectives-based curriculum, problem-based learning, standardized patients and performance-based assessment are the areas that put the school on the map educationally. Clinical competency and professionalism are also indelible trademarks of the training here. SIU graduates are consistently strong clinically and professionally — a tribute to the interest and effort of our teaching faculty.
