Reid Health
Core Site assignments are for year three only. Clerkship placement during year four is based solely on the site’s availability and approval. Students must follow the scheduling protocols outlined by the location and the Clinical Education Guidelines.
Reid Health includes a 217-bed hospital on the main campus and numerous satellite locations in the region serving Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio. The service area is home to about 280,000 people and includes six Indiana and two Ohio counties. Reid launched a new Osteopathic Family Medicine Program in July 2015 offering three years of intensive, hands-on training in both hospital and clinic environments. This residency is ACGME accredited and in the process of obtaining the Osteopathic Recognition designation.

Third-Year Selectives
-
These are clinical experiences completed in addition to the third-year core clerkships. The student may have some ability to choose from a list of available selective clerkships. The Core Site determines the selective clerkships available based on the resources at the Core Site. If applicable, selective opportunities will be communicated to students at the core site’s discretion after the match.
-
Selective clerkship opportunities are not available away from the Core Site during the third year. Exceptions to this policy may occur for students officially enrolled in the Military and Global Health Tracks or completing third-year selective(s) away from the Core Site as part of the Specialty Track requirements.
