Parkview receives accreditation for graduate programs
SHERRY SLATER | The Journal Gazette
Parkview Health s two new graduate medical education programs have received initial accreditation from an independent professional education standards organization, officials announced Tuesday.
The new internal medicine and general surgery residency programs “will help attract, train and retain physicians in the region,” Parkview said in a news release.
The region lags the recommended number of medical providers, based on population. The Fort Wayne market would need 40 more primary care providers alone to equal the state s average provider-to-patient ratio, an Indiana University Health official said three years ago. More recent figures weren t readily available Tuesday.

A new residency program to train medical school graduates in internal medicine and general surgery is taking shape in Fort Wayne under the auspices of Parkview Health.
The program, based at Parkview s Randallia Hospital, is planned to have 45 internal medicine residents in three years and 20 general surgical residents in five years, according to Dr. Susan Steffy, the program s clinical leader and Parkview Randallia s chief medical officer.
The residency program aims to increase the supply of physicians in northeast Indiana, she said.
Although Indiana has 130 residency programs, the general surgery program will be only the third in the state and the only one outside Indianapolis. The internal medicine program is the fifth in the state.
