University of Iowa Health Care Medical Center Program
About This Program
We offer multiple longitudinal curricula, including a combined Family Medicine/Psychiatry (FM/Psych) clinic that residents begin in their second year and continue through their fifth year. In this clinic, residents provide psychiatric care within a primary care setting. Additional longitudinal experiences occur in three-month blocks and include training in Pediatrics and Child Psychiatry, Chronic Pain and Substance Use Disorders, and Sports Medicine with a focus on musculoskeletal concerns.
