Medical Education recruitment season can be a stressful time for residency programs as well as applicants trying to find the perfect match. Thousands of applicants apply for only a select number of available positions.
For the sixth consecutive year, the Medical Education Residency program at Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital completed a 100 percent match by filling all 28 positions out of 3,260 applicants. This is the largest number of applicants in the history of the IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital Medical Education programs.
