Open to all current residents, the Pathway to Indiana Visiting Residency program supports qualified trainees whose backgrounds, experiences or perspectives promote improved health for all Hoosiers including those from medically underserved communities.

This program is designed to:

Encourage residents, including those from diverse backgrounds, to apply to IU School of Medicine's fellowship programs.
Increase awareness of opportunities in academic medicine.
Prepare trainees to provide culturally competent care for patients from all walks of life.
Provide mentorship opportunities to trainees within their field of interest.

A visiting resident can expect:

At least 75% clinical experience being direct exposure to the subspecialty.
Exposure to fellowship didactic content.
Meeting with program leadership.
Opportunity for fellowship interview.
Connection/matching of the visiting resident with a current fellow (preferable) or faculty if fellow connection is not feasible.

Awareness clears the air!💨 The Peds Pulm (Dr. Alex Silva) and Allergy/Immunology (Dr. Isaiah Ingram) fellows, along with Dr. Nadia Krupp, (Riley Hospital Pediatric Pulmonologist and Director of the Riley Asthma Program) were proud to collaborate with the Indiana Department of Education on February 20, 2026, to create videos for school nurses so they can continue to keep students with asthma happy and healthy all across the state of Indiana! Education doesn't just stop at patients and their families. It's a team effort! 🫁🫁🫁

Research:

Curriculum
During the first year of fellowship training, fellows focus on the principles and practices of clinical pediatric pulmonology. The first year includes an introductory month centered on pulmonary physiology along with pulmonary function diagnostic testing and its applications to clinical care. Fellows acquire skills in flexible bronchoscopy and transition to the pediatric specialist role in caring for the patient. Fellows are also exposed to research in their first year of training, exposing them to a variety of potential research mentors. It is expected that a research mentor and scholarly project is chosen by the end of first year of fellowship.

The focus of second and third year will be on the fellows' scholarly project. By third year, the work will really hone in on the fellows' career specific plan and can create unique pathways with clinical experience based on planned interests. Fellows earn an ever-increasing independence throughout their three years on the ward and in the clinics. By the end of fellowship, fellows will have completed well over 100 bronchoscopies.

Each fellow will participate in their own continuity clinic (they are primary physician) twice per month on average throughout all years, CF clinic with an assigned mentor 2-3 times per month on average, and rotate through several multidisciplinary sub-specialty pulmonary clinics including, but not limited to: PCD, BPD, pulmonary hypertension, neuromuscular, sleep disorders, severe asthma, and technology/ventilator dependent children. There are a variety of elective experiences fellows have built and done outside of this division.

In each year of training, fellows spend a half day in the general pulmonary continuity clinic an average of twice per month and attend the bimonthly CF continuity clinic (one to one and a half days per month on average). Fellows also cover bronchoscopy one day per month during off-service months. At least 200 procedures should be completed by the end of fellowship training.
