Welcome to the Website of The Institute of Medicine of Chicago

The IOMC has a long and illustrious history of being a leader in addressing some of the most important scientific, ethical, social and economic issues facing healthcare and the healthcare delivery system. The IOMC was founded in 1915 by three of the pre-eminent figures in the history of medicine in Chicago, namely Frank Billings, Ludvig Hektoen, and William Allan Pusey. The original mission of the IOMC was stated to be the "advancement of medicine and allied sciences and their application to human needs". The IOMC has consistently fulfilled this mission, but particularly in the last few years, a newly invigorated IOMC has considered the socio-economic and ethical problems introduced by the recent revolutionary changes in healthcare delivery and in the scientific basis of medicine.
