Astha Bhardwaj, MD

Why I chose Family Medicine: I love taking care of people of all ages and all walks of life. I enjoy the variety in my day, from seeing newborns to geriatrics to obstetrics. I also love the connections I form with my patient; nothing makes me happier than seeing my patients again and watching them improve!

Why I chose the IU School of Medicine Family Medicine Residency Program at Memorial: When I was looking for residency programs, I wanted to be in a rural area as that’s the population I want to work with in the future. Additionally, this program is unopposed meaning we get hands on experience in all our rotations. Finally, the program being through IU means we get access to resources like any other University program.

Personal interests and hobbies: I love to watch soccer, go for runs, play video games, and spend time with my friends.
