IU School of Medicine is launching two new residency programs in Bloomington—emergency and internal medicine—aimed at tackling the doctor shortage in rural Indiana. With 71 out of 92 counties facing health professional shortages, this move could mean more local doctors staying put after graduation. Students will train not just in Bloomington, but also in smaller communities like Paoli and Bedford. Research shows doctors who train in rural areas are much more likely to stay and serve those communities. How do you think this will impact healthcare access in our region? #Health #BodyHealth #Bloomington
