How come no love for Indiana?

I read all the threads on rankings and I must say that I find it hard to believe they are not on anyones radar.

Just some highlights.

-Awesome peds hospital (Riley) rank at top of all peds hospitals.
-You rotate though County (wishard), VA, University hospital, and Private hospital in a very nice medical district of Indianapolis.
-4th most transplants in country, get trauma and hearts too
-OK pain clinic.
-Not many fellows 2pain and 2peds so get the good cases
-Only had to interveiw about 50 applicants to fill 22 spots.
-Very high board pass rate usually 100%, sometime has one person fail

Only negative I found was that the program is filled with mostly IU grads and is not that diverse, but the faculty is pretty diverse in there training.

Just wondering why they are never mentioned in the threads

Stoelting was there, wasnt he? I guess he has recently retired.

can you say inbred? Granted my impression is all based on hearsay, but I've heard from multiple people that you can hardly even get an interview there if you didn't go to IU for medschool (or undergrad).

Not exactly the best way to get a good rep around the country if nobody else can even have a chance to get in.

Very surprised they only chose to interview 50. I would wager that some of the top programs in the country couldnt get away with that.

The OP fails to mention that the PD at Indiana only takes ~4 residents/year from outside of IU medical school.

Well maybe. I am not sure about those numbers. I maybe 1 of the 4. Either way awesome program. It is impressive to have 22 people going into anesthesia for a program and at least 18 of them wanting to match at there own program and filling year after year. Filled there program at least the last 3 yrs in the match(only data I have seen is for last 3 years).

as per IU anesthesia website:

CA1 Class (27 Residents):
MD 89% DO 11%
Male 89% Female 11%
IU Medical School Grad 74%

CA2 Class (24 Residents):
MD 92% DO 8%
Male 88% Female 12%
IU Medical School Grad 83%

CA3 Class (29 Residents):
MD 93% DO 7%
Male 79% Female 21%
IU Medical School Grad 83%


Totals (80 Residents):

MD 91% DO 9%
Male 85% Female 15%
IU Medical School Grad 80%

64/80 residents are IU grads, leaving 4-5/year from outside the fold, and with 7 of the remaining being DO's, then only 9/80 residents over the last three years came from non-IU allopathic programs. Interesting.

Very interesting numbers that lead me to a few questions.

1) Do IU students that want to go into anesthesia have any desire to go elsewhere?
2) Does the IU med school take virtually all students from instate or do they have a large out of state population in their class?


It's just a very strange and unique situation.

Consider that Hoosiers are barely aware that there is a world outside of IN and the program prefers it's own because outsiders tend to hate Indy and are miserable there.
