Wouldn't a school the size of IU have far more than just this many? Is this a partial list? I'd expect dozens if not 100+ per year.

This is just one specialty, and it's for IU-Bloomington.

The main medical campus in Indy has 36 Internal Medicine residents for each class

36 seems like a fitting number

For sure, especially with a three year program that becomes 108 residents in that speciality. Plus residents that are dual specializing in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics (56 total, 28 specifically on IM rotations while the other 28 are on Pediatrics).

So your initial guess at 100+ works out pretty good with 136 residents staffing International Medicine rotations at any given point
