If for any reason you feel unsafe entering or leaving campus, you can use SafeWalk services and security escort options for each facility.
IU Indianapolis will provide backup SafeWalk services for all facilities. When calling for assistance, identify yourself as a GME resident/fellow in the School of Medicine. SafeWalk services are available at all hospitals; call the hospital where you are working to arrange for a SafeWalk to your car or another hospital.
