Implementation of the Competency Based
Curriculum
Medical
Sciences is located on the main campus of
Indiana University in the city of Bloomington.
The curriculum is designed to provide medical
students with an excellent foundation in the
basic sciences and involves extensive clinical
integration at Bloomington Hospital. The
curricular strengths and unique opportunities
provided to Medical Sciences students are
highlighted below
Curricular Strengths
- Year-long
courses in most subjects
- Small
class size (28/class)
- Close
personal contact between students and faculty
- Extensive
clinical integration at Bloomington Hospital
- M.D./Ph.D.
program
The
curricular strength of our medical
education consists of courses being taught over
the entire academic year. This curriculum
allows our students to have a longer exposure to
the content of major courses and thereby
provides a greater opportunity for them to
master these subjects. The first year
curriculum is shown below

Location, Location, Location!
Bloomington is a wonderful place to live
and learn! The 1,850 acre campus lies in
scenic, rolling, heavily wooded terrain in
southern Indiana, 50 miles south of
Indianapolis. The hilly, wooded acres of the
campus are traversed by a small stream, the
Jordan River. Most of the university
buildings are constructed from native
limestone from nearby quarries. The campus
is the original home of the movie "Breaking
Away" and the famous
Little 500
bike race.
Bloomington and its surrounding area offer
outstanding cultural and recreational
opportunities for students and their
families. The University's world-famous
School of
Music
provides an annual calendar of events which
includes opera, chamber groups, ensembles,
several orchestras, while the
Union
Board
promotes many pop concerts.
The
University Theater
offers year-round productions.
The
University Museum of Art
exhibits paintings, sculptures, and other
art objects and schedules frequent displays
of visiting art collections.
The
Indiana University athletic
teams are part of the Big Ten Conference and
provide a wide variety of spectator sports
including soccer, swimming and diving,
basketball, track, football, gymnastics and
wrestling. All of the recreational
sports
facilities
of the School of Health, Physical Education
and Recreation are available for student
use. Outdoor recreational facilities are
abundant in the three nearby state parks,
two nearby state forests and one large
national forest of 180,000 acres. Lake
Monroe, 5 miles south of Bloomington, is the
largest in the State of Indiana and along
with other small lakes, provides
opportunities for canoeing, sailing,
water-skiing and fishing. Two winter ski
resorts are nearby. Several large commercial
caves are located in the area and numerous
non-commercial limestone caves are explored
annually by student and faculty spelunkers
Applications to Indiana University
School of Medicine are processed at a
central site, regardless or preference for
instruction site. Complete information for
the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program is
