Aims of the University of Iowa Family Medicine Residency Program
These principles drive our educational mission.
We seek to:
- Train residents to provide comprehensive, compassionate care to a broad range of patients for the treatment of health problems and the promotion of health.
- Develop physicians capable of achieving the triple aim: better patient care, improved population health, and lower health care costs.
- Provide the breadth of family medicine training to practice in any setting—rural or urban; multi-specialty or solo practice; inpatient, outpatient, obstetrics, pediatrics, urgent/emergent care; academic or private practice.
- Be recognized nationally for family medicine resident education.
- Develop the next generation of family medicine leaders.
