Program Description

Our program is the only residency in our community hospital, but we are sponsored by a large health system-UnityPoint Health-which is committed to education. We are part of the network of community programs affiliated with the University of Iowa. Our focus is on the broad spectrum of family medicine services that allows half of our graduates to go into rural practice. Our clinic serves a diverse and loyal patient population and is conveniently located next to the hospital. Residents and faculty also provide obstetrical care for a busy Hispanic clinic.
