The Bloomington campus of the Indiana University School of Medicine is the largest campus outside of Indianapolis. With over 100 medical students in all four years of medical education, students enjoy the same high-quality curriculum delivered on all IU School of Medicine campuses in basic mechanisms of disease, clinical science and health system science. The small class cohort allows for individualized attention and comradery amongst the students. The Health Sciences Building is co-located with the IU Health Bloomington Hospital, a 365-bed, level 3 trauma center, stroke and STEMI center, and a nursing magnet hospital. This proximity allows medical students and the over 350 adjunct faculty to meet easily in both clinical and classroom settings.
Because it is located on the iconic flagship IU Bloomington campus, students have the opportunity to interact with students and faculty in other disciplines, and to enjoy a Big Ten collegiate environment. In addition, IU School of Medicine—Bloomington faculty uniquely educate undergraduate students in courses such as anatomy, physiology, mind body medicine, parasitology, histology, embryology and genetics. These courses form the backbone of the Medical Sciences minor, a popular course of study amongst IU Bloomington undergraduate students. IU School of Medicine—Bloomington also offers two PhD programs: Cell and Molecular Cancer Biology, and Anatomy and Physiology, Education Track. Faculty and graduate students for these programs teach and learn alongside medical students and provide a wide breadth of experience and exposure.
