Program Description

University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford (UICMR) will expand existing partnerships with UW Health SwedishAmerican and Rosecrance, to provide training for primary care physicians in the Addiction Medicine Fellowship Program: Clinical Learning and Education in Addiction. Clinical Learning and Education in Addiction will address the county's workforce need for medical providers with expertise in addiction medicine through the hiring of an Addiction Medicine Fellowship Director and at least one Addiction Medicine Fellow per year. The fellowship director and fellow will provide addiction services to all citizens of Winnebago County regardless of ability to pay. Furthermore, we anticipate that graduates of the UICOMR's Addiction Medicine Fellowship Program will stay in the area after completing their training to continue providing addiction medicine treatment.
