Visit Indy
The Indiana University School of Medicine–Indianapolis campus is located just a mile and a half from the center of downtown Indianapolis, which is ranked eighth by Forbes for best places in the nation for business and careers, with recognition for major health care industry contributions.
Indianapolis offers many opportunities for cultural and historical enrichment, including a symphony, theaters and museums. The award-winning Indianapolis Zoo, Children’s Museum and Conner Prairie also provide residents with cultural activities and entertainment year round. Learn more about sports, events and attractions Indianapolis has to offer on the Visit Indy website.
Resident Wellness
Our program has a dedicated resident-led Wellness Committee that organizes a variety of events throughout the year in order to promote resident well-being and foster comradery among residents. These events include dinner outings, ice cream socials, trivia nights, picnics, apple picking, bowling, attending sporting events, among many others. In addition, every December, we have our Holiday party at the Indiana Historical Society in downtown, Indianapolis. This is a wonderful time to celebrate the holiday season while catching up with faculty and residents from other classes.
Annual Retreat
Each year, our PGY2 residents have a two-day overnight retreat at a resort near Bloomington, Indiana. Through group discussions and team building activities, residents learn communication, leadership, and management skills needed to help them succeed as they step into their new supervisory roles.
Committees and Interest Groups
Based on residents’ interests, our program has multiple committees and interest groups. These include: professional committee, wellness/social committee, book club, plant club, multiple intramural teams, and specialty-specific groups.
