Tyler Schmidt, MD

Medical School: University of Texas at Austin, Dell Medical School

Residency: Neurology Residency, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics

Why Iowa: I am excited to be staying in Iowa City after residency for fellowship training. My clinical experiences throughout residency have helped cultivate my interest in neuroimmunology, broadly encompassing demyelinating, neuro-infectious & neuro-rheumatologic conditions. Our fellowship program provides diverse clinical exposure to these various conditions, via a robust inpatient consultation service as well as fellow clinic. Since moving to Iowa, I have benefited from excellent teachers and supportive mentors who have further supported my interests in medical education. I have also enjoyed the small college-town environment, complete with a vibrant downtown scene,  wide open spaces for outdoor hobbies (hiking, biking), and Big Ten sports!
