Interviewed there a couple of years ago. Loved Indy, they have a beautiful state of the art hospital system. No CRNAs, so large amount of residents needed. Interview was low key, on a Sunday night at a German restaurant over several beers. Tour and info the next day. Butterworth, the chair, was a cool dude. Loved racing. Nakata, the PD, made no bones about being a discipinarian and demanding excellence. Hindsight being what it is, he is no different than most PDs, my own included, except he is upfront with you on interview day. I am a DO and I don't think there was any issues in that regard. Nakata called a week prior to interview and gave me some great sight seeing tips, and followed up a week later with me. It only had 4 categorical spots, which I ranked high. Ranked the advance spots lower. Ended up at my #1 which was the closest program to home and I am very happy here. I would advise you to seriously consider IU, I consider it an excellent program from my limited experience. I really think it is the type of program where calling them up and expressing your sincere interest in the program will go a long ways!
