One School, Nine Campuses Strong

A statewide system of engaging campus communities

Statewide Campus System

Among the many characteristics that set IU School of Medicine apart from other medical schools in the United States is its statewide campus system.

Investing in Indiana Health through Statewide Medical Education

IU School of Medicine was a pioneer in the use of a multi-campus system to educate medical students. Yet the statewide footprint of IU School of Medicine isn’t just good for medical students and residents, it is important to the health of Hoosiers. Educating students outside of Indianapolis increases the likelihood they will put down roots in these communities and serve patients in every corner of the state. That is why IU School of Medicine is investing in its campuses to update facilities, increase student services and programs, provide clerkship opportunities outside of Indianapolis, and work in partnership with local hospitals to add residency training in these regions.
