Why University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics

During my fourth-year rotations, I was able to complete an administration rotation at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics.  That rotation helped to solidify that I wanted to pursue an administration residency.  When looking for programs, I really wanted a program that had a strong clinical first year of the 2-year Health System Administration and Leadership Residency.  The strong clinical year would allow me to have a solid background and foundation moving into management.  The residency program at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics had that strong clinical year I was looking for in the Acute Care PGY1 residency year we complete.  I also really enjoyed the people that I met during my rotations and then during the interview process.    The opportunity to choose from multiple master’s programs including the Executive MHA was also a huge draw to the program.

Favorite Part of Iowa City

The variety of restaurants and breweries in and around Iowa City is always a great way to find new things to try whether on your own or with your co-residents!  Iowa City always has different festivals and things going on in town.  I am also a big Iowa Hawkeye football fan!  I love the proximity to Cedar Rapids, North Liberty, and the Amana Colonies for other concerts, festivals, restaurants, breweries, and wineries to try!
