Explore Indianapolis

Residency life, an ever evolving adventure, is stressful. While our #1 goal is to provide a solid foundation and education for our residents, we recognize that one of the most important aspects of Residency life is social connection and unwavering support. Together, we promote this by offering both faculty/professional mentoring and peer to peer programs as well as working "social time" and wellness activities into our schedules. We also embrace "all things Indy" and do all that we can to experience all that our great state has to offer. Please visit the following website to learn more about Indiana: VisitIndiana.com

Testimonials

Lisa Bourbeau, OBGYN Resident

"My favorite thing about Indy is that it has such versatility from big city to country vibes all close to the hospital-really gives you whatever you’re looking for without the crazy traffic! Some of us live downtown while others live in neighborhood homes but we're all within easy access to work. I also love the people here!"

Emily Blake, OBGYN Resident

"I love living in Indiana because it has allowed me to be close to my family during one of the busiest times of my life and I'm so grateful to be able to see them often because of that. I love living in Indianapolis; I have lived there now for the past 7 years and absolutely love living downtown. There is so much to do on weekdays and weekends, I can walk to the grocery store and go for a run straight out of my door. There are also so many delicious restaurants in and around Indianapolis. Indiana has one of the most beautiful falls and we can enjoy the changing leaves... but we still get snow and have wonderful springs as well! The summers are hot but much more mild than other places around the nation. Indianapolis has awesome biking and running trails and I have spent a lot of time on those-- we have great infrastructure for active people. Although we aren't nearby any mountains there are still beautiful state parks in Indiana and as close as within an hour to Indianapolis for hiking and camping, spending time on the lake, or doing float trips. Indiana also has one of the best sports scenes in the nation. If you love basketball you've come to the right place but we not only have an NBA team (the Pacers), we also have an NFL team (the Colts), and several minor league teams (baseball, hockey, soccer). And don't forget about the Indy 500! Indianapolis plays host to many large sporting events including the NFL Combine, the Final Four, plans to host the NBA All-Star game in 2021, and many other collegiate tournaments."
