We provide broad based clinical experience in hospice and palliative medicine at our teaching sites.

Iowa City: University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics is the only combined academic and Level 1 Trauma institution in the state. UIHC serves a large geographical area, accepting patient transfers and referrals from across the state of Iowa and surrounding states. The resulting patient population is culturally, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse providing opportunities to see patients with a broad spectrum of serious illnesses.

UI Health Care Medical Center and UI Health Care Stead Family Children’s Hospital together deliver high quality care in collaboration with University of Iowa Physicians, the state’s largest multi-specialty medical and surgical group practice, composed of UI Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine faculty physicians. Working together as University of Iowa Health Care, these partners provide patient care, conduct biomedical research, and train the next generation of health professionals.

Iowa City Hospice: A not-for-profit hospice that began serving patients in 1983. It provides care to patients in Johnson County and 6 other surrounding Iowa counties. The overriding goal of this experience is for the fellow to gain sufficient learning to be able to step into the role of a hospice medical director.
