Many of their rural rotations are in conjunction with RMED students.
Rural Nursing Education (RNURSING) Program
New in 2017, RNURSING allows advanced practice nursing students from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Nursing at the Rockford campus to take electives focused on meeting the health care needs of rural communities. These RNURSING students seeking the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree join RMED and RPHARM students for collaborative projects. Increasing the number of primary care advanced practice nurses can improve access to health care in rural communities with a shortage of health professionals and decrease the health disparities for these underserved populations.

UIC Health Sciences Campus-Rockford
It is how we refer to the campus at 1601 Parkview Ave., which houses programs of the University of Illinois Chicago College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy and College of Nursing, as well as other entities that rent space. Defies the AP rule to spell out the acronym on the first reference, (so it is not University of Illinois Chicago Health Sciences Campus-Rockford). It does not have a space before and after the en dash or hyphen.

Clinics do not use the SwedishAmerican name in them, so the title would be UW Health Creekside Medical Center, for example. If you need to differentiate from UW Health Madison and UW Health Northern Illinois, you may say UW Health Northern Illinois. But the health system is UW Health.

This area, which contains the Anatomage Table, is used to supplement the learning of students.
