INDIANAPOLIS – Newly minted physicians will begin honing their
skills in the Family Medicine Residency Program at Franciscan St. Francis
Health on July 1.
The 36-month program launches the start of
their family medicine careers. Residents practice out of the hospital’s Family Medicine Center in
Indianapolis, where they see patients of all ages and incomes. They also
provide care for expectant mothers and deliver babies for many of these patients
at the hospital’s Indianapolis campus.
This year’s class, which was expanded to eight
participants, includes: Elizabeth Arneman, DO, Kansas City University of
Medicine and Biosciences; Sarah Astorga, MD, Indiana University School of
Medicine; Nathan Billington, MD, St. Louis University School of Medicine; Paul
Day, MD, University of Louisville School of Medicine; Jon Feist, MD, University
of Louisville School of Medicine; Brandon Hockenberry, University of Nevada
School of Medicine; Tim Musick, MD, University of Nevada School of Medicine;
and Amanda Smith, MD, University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine.
“We are so pleased and excited with our
results and the calibre of these residents,” said Richard Feldman, MD, program
director. “We could not have asked for a better outcome.”
More than 225 physicians have completed
residencies at Franciscan St. Francis since the program began, most choosing to
remain in Indiana to establish family medicine practices.
