Why IU: I was interested in IU Med-Peds for multiple reasons. It is a very well-established program with ample opportunities for mentoring within the large Med-Peds community here. The 5 hospitals that we train at offer a wide array of experiences from high acuity, specialized care, to care for the underserved in our continuity clinics, and Eskenazi is the most beautiful county hospital you’ll ever see. Now that I’m here, I also think that 14 is the perfect class size: big enough that someone is always available to hang out, but small enough that we all know each other well. My class been one of the most fun parts about matching at IU, and I hope you find that same community as you move forward into residency! ?
