Groundbreaking Collaboration
IU’s Grand Challenges Precision Health Initiative incorporates key Department of Medicine faculty into the genomic medicine and cell, gene and immune therapies programs of the initiative to better understand the multiple factors that contribute to a person’s health. With this research, IU will strengthen leadership in the field and enhance the well-being and economy of Indiana.
Graduate Medical Education Programs
The Department of Medicine is involved in graduate medical education primarily through its Internal Medicine Residency Program and the unique Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Program. The Internal Medicine Program consists of three tracks: primary care, research and preliminary medicine, and the program accepts 36 trainees for each track per academic year. The Medicine-Pediatrics Program accepts 14 trainees each academic year. These residency programs offer access to a large and diverse patient population through IU School of Medicine’s partnership with four Indianapolis hospitals, including the IU Health system.
In addition, IU School of Medicine sponsors a Transitional Year Residency Program for applicants who are unsure on a career path, and many fellowship programs are available for more focused training through the department’s 10 specialty divisions.
