First Year Resident Orientation


The IU Methodist Family Medicine Residency program requires that all first year residents successfully complete an initial month-long "Orientation." This unique direction allows for the resident:

  • more opportunities for supervised patient care opportunities, 
  • hands-on exposure to and practice with bedside and clinic procedures,. 
  • social interaction with fellow residents and with faculty,
  • familiarization with the "business of medicine" in our facilities,

and much, much more. This orientation program was designed with input from both students and faculty and their ideas on ways we could assist new residents with their transition from student to practitioner.
