In addition to a competitive salary, our residents receive a housing allowance, free food in the hospital, funds for a laptop computer, a Palm Pilot, away CME, and a variety of insurance to cover all their professional and family needs. We've stayed responsibly ahead of the curve with procedures. Residents can get experience with upper and lower endoscopies, exercise treadmill testing, OB ultrasound, and a long list of other office and hospital procedures. While rigorous academically, our program places high value on the health and growth of families within the program. We have many informal get-togethers, and spouses have an organized group that hold regular gatherings for all to enjoy.
South Bend is particularly well-suited to training in family medicine.
Our community and our hospital remain family practice oriented and family physicians still provide a broad array of services. The University of Notre Dame enhances the community culturally and through its nationally recognized sports programs. As a result of the preceding factors, plus some others, we've successfully recruited excellent future family physicians to the program. We've consistently filled the program's slots through the NRMP match, attracting outstanding people from Indiana and across the nation. We specifically seek talented people with positive attitudes and a desire to help each other learn and grow.
