Pathway to Indiana Visiting Residency

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! 🫁🫁🫁

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.

Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship

A Letter from the Program Director
The Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship Program at Indiana University School of Medicine and Riley Hospital for Children has a strong commitment to providing exceptional training of academic pediatric specialists. The program ensures fellows are well prepared to provide the best possible care for infants and children with lung disease, through diverse clinical and scientific inquiry. Strong mentorship is provided for each fellow in research, clinical care, advocacy and teaching skills, to foster a customized path in beginning a robust pulmonary career.

Pediatric pulmonology faculty train future researchers who can apply their knowledge of basic, translational, and clinical science to enhance the understanding of children’s respiratory disease. Scholarly work is fostered in an environment of honest questioning and collaboration. Pediatric pulmonology fellows pursue high level scientific inquiry and are invited to present nationally. Clinically, the Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship program emphasizes excellent care of the whole child and family, whether the child is chronically or acutely ill. Fellows benefit from a statewide referral base with a large and diverse clinical volume and a high faculty-to-fellow ratio in a collegial working environment. Academically, Indiana University School of Medicine fellowship graduates are skilled educators who seek new knowledge and who can teach others to do the same. Department-supported fellowship seminars provide cross-specialty competency, and peer group development.

Additionally, fellows have access to special academic opportunities during their training, which include but are not limited to, programs for master's degrees in clinical or translational research, or public health; Academy of Teaching Scholars program; and a global health curriculum for clinical and research initiatives. We look forward to the opportunity to train motivated and excited individuals! Please take a look at additional information, and feel free to contact us with any questions.
