The schools would include: (a) a "school of basic medical sciences" into which all beginning medical students would be admitted for an intensive one-year curriculum; (b) an expanding number of "clinical schools" to which students would be transferred from the "basic science" school. The latter would eventually offer instruction at all three of the University's campuses. T h e clinical schools initially would be based upon the hospitals presently affiliated with the College of Medicine, but it is proposed that clinical training centers be established at Peoria, Rockford, Urbana-Champaign, and Decatur (in appropriate time sequence), which would become the locations of separate schools of the College of Medicine. Prior to the initiation of primary medical education, the University would assist these centers in expanding their internship-residency training and in serving as bases for continuing education for physicians within their regions. Through these clinical training activities, the University and the cooperating hospitals would develop the teaching faculties necessary for the operation of resident medical schools. A tentative schedule for the expansion of enrollment in the proposed new schools is shown in Table _VL As the table indicates, initially three schools would be created from the existing College of Medicine — the school of basic science (School A, offering programs eventually at all three campuses) and two clinical schools (Schools B and C). During 1969-71, an increase in first-year medical enrollment of fifty students would be accomplished — twenty-five at the Medical Center during 1969-70 and an additional twenty-five at the Urbana-Champaign campus during 1970-71 (the latter to be discussed further in Section V ) .
