Indiana University: Your source for GME residencies and fellowships


Indiana University School of Medicine, through its Office of Graduate Medical Education, sponsors seventy-six ACGME residencies and fellowships. In 2009, the ACGME awarded IUSM GME the maximal  five-year continuing institutional accreditation, with commendation and without citations. At Indianapolis, our training programs are affiliated with IUHealth's Riley, Methodist, North, West, and University Hospitals; Larue Carter Hospital; Roudebush Veterans Administration Medical Center; and Wishard Health Services. At these hospitals the teaching physicians are members of the Faculty of the IU School of Medicine. Our residencies and fellowships provide a vast array of experiences, inpatient and outpatient, with outstanding opportunities in research as well. In addition to several professional libraries within our hospitals, the Ruth Lilly Medical Library is located in the Medical Research and Library Building at IU School of Medicine at Indianapolis.
