Why did the current and past IUEM residents choose our program?

“Our faculty are some of the best in the country, are down-to-earth and a lot of fun to work with. IU is a phenomenal place to train in emergency medicine and your training here will prepare you for whatever career in EM you want.”

“The staff here are amazing- great teachers and wonderful mentors. The facilities are great, the patient population is varied and diverse, and the 3 hospitals complement each other to give a well-rounded experience in emergency medicine.”

“Everything! Diverse patient population; supportive, enthusiastic faculty; great learning atmosphere; opportunities to pursue multiple sub-interests within emergency medicine and pediatrics; and fantastic co-residents.”

“Great ICU and peds experience. Large volume and high acuity patients. Old program with great resources and reputation.”

“IU has it all. Great staff that are interested in teaching while still giving plenty of autonomy to prepare you for the future. I like the fact that we split our time between three high volume, high acuity EDs, one county, one pediatric focused and the other is private. This helps us to see a greater diversity of patients and patient complaints. We also have a fun to be around group of residents and staff. Indianapolis has a lot to offer as well.”

“The people - the faculty are great role models and are excited to share their knowledge with residents, and the residents are a tight-knit group that really support each other and like to work hard and play hard.”

“One of the things I never realized is how extensive the alumni network is and how invested they will be in helping you find a job.  If you are interested in academics, community or something in between you will find success at IU.  I came from the Northwest and I have found IUEM alumni at every great job in the West.  The extended IUEM family is underappreciated and invaluable.”

“Basically no traffic, downtown is clean and safe, good places to eat; has all the upside of a big city (concerts, sporting events, malls) without the downside”

“The staff is incredibly intelligent, sincere, and are really focused on providing us with great EM training. All of the residents are extremely friendly and sociable. Definitely a family type environment.”

“Enjoyable/fun work environment - great residents and faculty. You can't beat the variety of learning and experience between Riley, Wishard and Methodist”

“The great balance between community and county patient populations between the 3 hospitals”

“Incredible educational potential and challenging learning environment.”

“The opportunity to pursue professional interests such as EMS and disaster response within the setting of a fantastic training program with a diverse patient population”

“Helpful and friendly people, excellent hospitals, great teaching, minimal traffic”

“The staff are passionate about taking exceptional care of patients and teaching residents to do the same. In addition, they serve as outstanding personal and professional mentors.”

“Hands down the best thing about IU is the people. I have never met attendings who were so eager to teach.”

“The educational environment is exactly what I was looking for, from the leadership down to the residents. It is a family friendly residency with great off-service rotations and balance between Emergency Departments.”

“The quality of people we get to work with is unsurpassed.  Our faculty are national leaders in every facet of Emergency Medicine, and our residents are very active in local, state and national service and leadership.”

“There was no program that even came close to IU for me. The first thing that stood out is the diverse and enormous patient population, but the family atmosphere and the camaraderie really tipped the scales for me.”

“I get to work with a group of people who work hard, care about their patients, and keep a wonderful sense of humor and camaraderie while doing it. I'm new to the mid-west, but everyday I am pleasantly surprised by some new discovery about Indianapolis!”

“3 hospitals, over 250,000 patients, never a dull moment”

“Awesome training in both the Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics and the opportunity to practice in three high volume Emergency Departments with staff that love to teach. Indianapolis is also a much cooler city than I would have ever thought!”
