Current Residents 2020-2021
Chief Resident
Meet current Chief Resident Tim Wysozan.
Although I spent the majority of my life as a Michigander, I have been welcomed with open arms as a Hoosier for the past several years. I completed my undergraduate degree at The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and my medical degree at Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I enjoyed the midwestern feel of those programs, and knew that was something I wanted to continue with in residency. As I completed rotations in pathology during medical school, I had several pathologists tell me to apply to Indiana University for residency, where they had completed their residency. Although they taught me many other things, I think this was the best piece of advice they gave me. I knew the moment I stepped foot in the laboratory for my interview that I was somewhere special.
Being a pathology resident at Indiana University is an absolute joy. The education we receive is phenomenal, and we are very fortunate to be able to learn from some of the greatest minds in pathology. We get to see a multitude of rare and exciting cases that we may not get to see anywhere else. Our partnership with local hospitals helps expand the variety of cases we see, and also gives us a taste of different types of pathology practices. But perhaps most importantly, everyone that the residents interact with is kind and compassionate. The pathologists always have their doors open and are always willing to talk about cases, or even give life advice! I also feel very fortunate to have such a fantastic group of co-resident, many of whom have become my close friends.
Living in Indianapolis has been an amazing experience. Prior to moving to Indianapolis, I had never lived in a big city, and I was a little intimidated. I learned very quickly that Indianapolis, while technically a "big city," still has the feel of a smaller midwestern town. Many of my co-residents live outside the downtown area in the suburbs and commute to work without any issues. I decided to live within walking distance of the pathology lab, and chose an apartment on the beautiful canal, which we also have an amazing view of from our lab. In my free time, I enjoy spending time on the canal, whether it be going for runs and walks, or just people watching!
As chief resident, I look forward to being able to give back to the program and residents that have already given so much to me. I will be completing a fellowship in dermatopathology in 2022-2023--a fellowship that I know our program has both helped me obtain and prepared me for. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about our program!
