Medicine and Nursing




The IU Schools of Medicine and Nursing are based in Indianapolis. The IU Medical School is the country's second largest public medical school with more than 1,000 full-time faculty, 1,700 staff, 1,400 students, and nearly 800 resident physicians. Many of its departments are ranked among the top-10 or-20 programs in the US and two of the hospitals affiliated with the school are included in the publication The Best Hospitals in the United States. The IU School of Nursing is the largest multipurpose nursing school in the US. It offers all four levels of nursing degrees--associate, baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral. Its graduate programs were ranked 14th (out of 200) in the 1995 U.S.News & World Report survey, and the School has consistently ranked in the top 20 nationally. Internationally, IU medical faculty train personnel in Kenya for medical service in rural areas, while other IU specialists in Africa are engaged in training and research on Alzheimer’s and sexually transmitted diseases. Likewise, the Nursing School’s education programs extend to Indonesia and Malaysia and its Institute for Action Research in Community Health (IARCH) and the World Health Organization’s Collaborating Center in Healthy Cities train nurses for international health needs and careers.
