Resident Family

"If I had the chance, I would 100% of the time pick IU Methodist Transitional Year Program again.  One of the best years of residency that prepares you for whatever your advanced specialty will be, while also incorporating a great work/life balance.  I met an incredible group of people in my class that I still keep in touch with, even despite being in different specialties."

"I was drawn to IU because of it's excellent reputation and by how smart, grounded, and happy the residents and faculty were when I met them on the interview trail.  I'm glad that I followed my instincts with this program because I absolutely loved my time in Indy! If you're wondering if the program director and assistant program director could possibly be as nice as they appear on interview day, the answer is yes!"

"My TY year in Indianapolis was one of the best of my life. Not only did I meet a great group of lifelong friends, but the flexibility of the program allowed me to tailor my curriculum to explore my specific areas of interest. Not only did I have a great time, but I was ready to hit the ground running as a PGY-2."

"IU's Transitional Year allowed me to experience rotations that I didn't have a chance to do in med school before beginning radiology residency. Having a wide variety of specialty rotations has been so helpful as a radiologist. I was exposed to what different specialties need from an imaging standpoint and that has been so beneficial during my interactions with clinicians. I would recommend this TY to everyone!"

"The TY at IU Methodist is a hidden gem. The culture of helping residents prepare for their advanced programs is evident and the different elective opportunities are unique. The faculty really cares, and the environment is second to none. In simple terms, I would do it again no questions asked."

"My IU Transitional Year is the best year I have had during residency. The opportunities seemed endless. If you wanted to do something unique and delve into the unknown, the program made it happen. The support and engagement with their residents is unparalleled. Man, I wish I could go back."

"Transitional year residents were welcomed, respected, and valued by other residency programs, especially emergency medicine, pediatrics and internal medicine. When I interviewed, I thought the program was too good to be true, but the IU transitional residency truly puts education above service."

"This program was an awesome place at which to train. There is such a wide variety of elective opportunities and everyone I worked with was great. I moved halfway across the country for this program only to move back a year later. I would do it again in a heartbeat!"

"The overall culture along with the support of my fellow co-residents made me feel like I was part of one big family. I can't imagine having a better intern year experience as I transitioned from medical student to resident physician."

"The Methodist Transitional Year enabled me to experience diverse rotations relevant to my subsequent training in neurology while building a solid foundation in medicine. I felt supported both professionally and personally, even in the setting of a kitchen accident that required surgery in the midst of a pandemic."

"The transitional year at IU Methodist allows trainees to tailor the training to best suit their professional endeavors. There is ample opportunity for residents to develop training pathways to build non-clinical skills that are essential for success in the ever-changing field of medicine."

"I grew immensely as a physician during my Transitional Year. I became a confident decision-maker all while learning in a very supportive environment. There is great effort made by program leadership to make it a fantastic year. Highly recommend!"

"This program's cannot be stressed enough! Every rotation had incredible attendings, and program leadership is incredibly invested in the transitional residents. One of the best years of my life."

"This was an academically-oriented program that maintained the spirit of a TY experience with its elective time. The IU TY year has remained the best year of my life, and I made lifelong friends along the way."

"My Methodist TY experience has been one of the highlights of my medical training. Not only did I come out feeling that I had a solid foundation, but the program allowed me to essentially customize my path in a challenging and supportive environment."
