Your gift provides a flexible resource that the department can use in a variety of ways to enhance clinical care, education, and research.

Offering a more comprehensive experience for residents and fellows is one way that philanthropic support for this fund could be used. By the time they graduate, a resident will have participated in more than 2,500 cases in four distinct hospital settings. They will have mastered complex surgical techniques and had the opportunity to gain global health experience in Kenya through an IU-led consortium there. Each resident also completes an annual research project mentored by a faculty member. Gifts to this fund could be used to support these and other opportunities. Your generosity could also help us recruit top-tier talent to our residency program, which often plays a central role in determining where a physician will eventually practice.

Your generosity could also help the department take initial steps in upgrading essential facilities, such as the temporal bone lab. The space is heavily utilized to teach future ear, nose, and throat surgeons how to drill delicate bone and perform precise surgeries involving the skull base and sinuses. After 30 years of service, the facility needs retrofitting and upgrades.

Gifts may also provide funding for research, especially pilot projects where faculty are trying to obtain exploratory data. Such data can be the basis for an application for long-term grant support.

These are only a few examples of the impact that you can have when you make a gift. We’re grateful to have partners like you helping us prepare outstanding physicians, conduct research, and improve patient care.
