Welcome
The Internal Medicine-Psychiatry Residency at the University of Iowa is a five-year ACGME-accredited program that teaches residents to effortlessly shift their clinical attention from chronic physical disorders to concurrent psychiatric conditions, with the ultimate goal of delivering unified care.
The program recognizes that traditional distinctions between medical and psychiatric illness and traditional models of delivering care fail to adequately address the needs of complicated patients. Illness is influenced, in any domain, by biologic, physiologic, psychologic, and social factors.
Residents spend a total of 30 months in internal medicine and 30 months in psychiatry to gain the experience that is necessary to provide patients with comprehensive, integrated care.
