Rural Psychiatry Residency program providing care to underserved communities in the SW Indiana region

11/19/2025

Some of our residents are bringing lifestyle medicine into our psychiatry training, taking one more step towards whole-person care! Drs. Leena Varshney, MD, and Maneesha Randhawa, MD, worked to identify barriers to lifestyle medicine education and have been making efforts to integrate it into the psychiatry curricula. For those residents who choose to participate, they will complete requirements that will later allow them to pursue board certification in Lifestyle Medicine.

Leena has been enjoying the American College of Lifestyle Medicine's conference and has presented a poster on her and Maneesha's work. We look forward to Leena sharing some of the knowledge she's gleaned from the conference soon!

Meet this week's resident spotlight and PGY-1 resident, Dr. Camryn Riggle, MD! Learn a little more about Camryn below.

I grew up in Lafayette, IN and completed my undergraduate degree in Chemistry at East Central University in Ada, OK. I then attended American University of the Caribbean in Sint Maarten for medical school and completed my rotations in Chicago, IL.

Something that drew me to psychiatry was experience working as an ABA therapist for children with Autism and growing up with my younger brother who has Down Syndrome. I eventually loved my experience with severe mental illness while in school and decided psychiatry was where I belonged.

My special interests in psychiatry include serious mental illness (SMI) in the inpatient setting and ECT/TMS.

I love IU Psychiatry in Vincennes because of the great support from my co-workers and faculty and how knowledgeable/interested in teaching our attendings are. I also love the experience with ECT/TMS that this program provides, which I had limited knowledge on prior to my residency.

Outside of medicine, my hobbies include traveling (Switzerland, Iceland, Italy, Mexico, and more), and spending time with my two kiddos.

I was born and raised in Southern Indiana. I went to Indiana State for undergraduate studies and majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry and French. While there I participated in research focusing on water micro ecosystems and diatoms. I then went to medical school at the University of Pikeville Kentucky of Osteopathic Medicine in Appalachia. I really enjoyed my time there and loved the people and the town.

My special interests in medicine include rural and underserved areas. My goal is to be competent to practice psychiatry in an underserved area which includes being comfortable practicing in subspecialities such as geriatrics, addiction, and child psychiatry.

Outside of medicine I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my two cats. I really like traveling, reading, and spending time in nature.

My favorite things about the IUSM Vincennes Psychiatry Residency Program are the people and education. I feel that my learning and training is a valuable strength for myself and patients. There are some truly great people that I am working with and learning from that make the experience special.
