The Carle Foundation Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program is a community based program in a 489-bed tertiary care hospital. We're equipped with tremendous resources and research opportunities.
The Carle Family Medicine Residency program is no longer accepting applications. Interested applicants are encouraged to review the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria Family Medicine Residency program, with training at Carle Health Methodist Hospital in Peoria, Illinois.
Our residency offers an unparalleled learning experience in a highly supportive environment. This is a special program that has given us the foundation to be successful in our various career endeavors—whether that's the OB track, rural medicine, hospital medicine, or outpatient. Our leadership continuously seeks resident feedback to improve our clinical rotations. The case volume is impressive, and the breadth of exposure is vast. Residents typically complete all key indicator numbers by the end of post-graduate year three.
Our residency runs on the clinic-first model, allowing for a well-established clinic and the opportunity to treat equal numbers of adult and pediatric patients with excellent patient continuity. The experience is further enriched by protected time for educational workshops and weekly didactics.
The environment we create within our program allows for friendships and a reliable network that can last a lifetime. We also prioritize wellness with gatherings on a biannual basis. The diversity in backgrounds among faculty and residents makes our program unique and unequivocally enhances our training.
Warmest Regards,

Family Medicine
At the end of each block rotation, residents receive a written and verbal evaluation from the attending(s) with whom they worked most closely. They also complete a self-evaluation of skills on a quarterly basis and take an annual in-training examination that is similar to the family medicine certification examination. In continuity clinic, preceptors complete daily evaluations so residents have more immediate written feedback. We use the ACGME Milestones evaluations twice per year to evaluate the performance levels residents are expected to demonstrate for skills, knowledge and behaviors in the six Core Competency domains of family medicine.
