The 36-month program launches their start of their family medicine careers. Residents practice out of the St. Francis Family Medicine Center in Beech Grove, 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.
The residents are Kristen Blume, M.D. (American University of the Caribbean), Bethany Troutwine, M.D. (University of Illinois), John Rau, M.D. (Indiana University School of Medicine), Brendan Sweeny, M.D. (IUSM), Michael Teague, M.D. (IUSM), and Elizabeth Wright, M.D. (IUSM).
“For 36 years, our program has trained physicians in the clinical and academic aspects of family medicine, while never losing sight of our mission to treat each patient with individualized care and compassion,” said Richard Feldman, M.D., residency program director.
More than 200 physicians have completed their residencies at St. Francis since the program began, most choosing to remain in Indiana to establish family medicine practices.
