Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(110 ILCS 935/4.02) (from Ch. 144, par. 1454.02)

Sec. 4.02.

To determine the procedures for the distribution of the
funds to residency programs, including the establishment
of eligibility criteria in accordance with the following guidelines:

(a) preference for programs which are to be

established at locations which exhibit potential for extending eligible health care provider  availability to Designated Shortage Areas;

(b) preference for programs which are located away

from communities in which medical schools are located; and

(c) preference for programs located in hospitals

having affiliation agreements with medical schools located within the State.

In distributing such funds, the Department may also consider as secondary
criteria whether a residency program has:

(1) Adequate courses of instruction in the behavioral

sciences;

(2) Availability and systematic utilization of

opportunities for residents to gain experience through local health departments or other preventive or occupational medical facilities;

(3) A continuing program of community-oriented

research in such areas as risk factors in community populations, immunization levels, environmental hazards, or occupational hazards;

(4) Sufficient mechanisms for maintenance of quality

training, such as peer review, systematic progress reviews, referral system, and maintenance of adequate records; and

(5) An appropriate course of instruction in societal,

institutional, and economic conditions affecting a rural health care practice.
