IU med school looks to reach beyond Indy
Indianapolis Business Journal, March 31 -- Indiana University started boosting its medical school class size last fall to counter a looming doctor shortage. Next, it wants to stretch its reach around the state. The nation's second-largest medical school plans to have students take clinical rotations at hospitals outside Indianapolis starting this fall. The school hopes to launch pilot rotations in South Bend and Fort Wayne and eventually expand to several other cities. The move would help the medical school accommodate its larger class sizes -- and it would expose students to parts of the state they might want to return to for work. "The students get to see the medicine that's practiced there," said Dr. Stephen Leapman, the school's executive associate dean for educational affairs. "They may be turned on by it, may want to stay there, and the physicians that are there may see students . . . and think of them as future partners." Read the full story.
