3. Funding The full 223,100-sq. ft. NeuMED will
Funding the full investment is the only fiscally prudent approach.
The full 223,100-sq. ft. NeuMED will
Serve more than 2,000 students and faculty
Generate $200,000 in economic impact for each resident physician
Attract corporate and grant funding
Building NeuMED in segments over time will
Dramatically increase construction cost
Significantly reduce its positive impact
Exacerbate Indiana’s shortage of doctors
Anything less than full funding now will cost Indiana more.

4. CRITICAL SHORTAGES NeuMED will address critical shortages.
Indiana needs 500 more residency positions.
Missing out on $50 million annual federal funding
Graduates of Marian’s new medical school need slots
Produce more doctors, dentists, physician assistants,
and nurse practitioners.
Aging population increasing demand
Will allow for joint training of other health professionals
Will foster an atmosphere of professional cooperation
Improve patient outcomes and reduce costs

5. Indiana doctors First step in building a pipeline of Indiana doctors.
Stop the brain drain.
Only half of in-state IU Med students now practice in Indiana
More residencies would increase in-state practice to 75+ percent
Taxpayers invest $100,000 in each in-state student
