3 thoughts on “Crisis tests Indiana’s public health wherewithal

  1. Besides the complete lack of concern over the years, Indiana remain behind, even all of our surrounding States, in training health care professionals. This includes physicians, nurses, etc. In my opinion, the most obvious and disturbing deficiency is training physicians. Why has Indiana been satisfied with only ONE research medical school which by most assessments is mediocre or average at best. It has only been in recent years the Marian (a DO medical school) has come on the scene. Even so, there has NOT been any increase in the number of residency program slots. Residency is where the real training occurs to make physicians real practitioners of medicine.

    What is going on in our surrounding States;
    1. Illinois 7 medical schools and 1 DO medical school
    2. Ohio 6 medical schools and 1 DO medical school
    3. Michigan 5 medical schools and 1 DO medical school
    4. Kentucky 2 medical schools and 1 DO medical school

    For Indiana, Purdue and Notre Dame should step up to the plate and start their own medical schools In spite of the lack of the support from the State.

    Besides the obvious improvement in man/women power that this would provide, we deserve some serious diversity of thought in research which is lacking when IU is the only clinical conduit. The diversity already exist in research at Purdue and Notre Dame. Each needs to break free and explore the clinical arena unencumbered by bureaucracy and inertia of IU.

    Unfortunately, the pandemic has top priority and needs our attention first. Unfortunately, when some of the dust settles, everyone will go back to the old system. However, we citizens of Indiana will continue to suffer with inadequate health.

  2. I am a returning resident by choice but that almost didn’t happen. When we looked at Indiana’s healthcare ratings, we almost made the decision to not return. Maybe it is time to invest some of the surplus in public healthcare.

    1. David, would you say more about the healthcare ratings that gave you pause? We are in the late stages of moving to Indiana too.

      Many thanks.
