Indiana University is the prime mover in life and health sciences across Indiana. As the home of eight health science schools including the largest medical school in the country, IU prepares health care professionals who serve the citizens of Indiana and beyond. As a hotbed for innovative research and ideas that translate into practical solutions, IU is a major economic driver in health sciences for the state and is poised to become a national leader in collaborative practices.
