Elective Rotations
The elective rotations allow for residents to spend a dedicated 2- to 4-week block time immersing themselves in a specific sub-specialty to explore their future career interests and deepend their knowledge in the core subspecialities of medicine.

Hospitalist Rotation
The hospitalist rotation pairs residents interested in hospitalist medicine with a staff working on a “hospitalist only” service. We have a partnership with St. Luke’s hospital in Cedar Rapids, so residents have the opportunity to experience the day-to-day workflow of a hospitalist firsthand in either a community or academic setting, if the resident wished to stay a UIHC.
