Why University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics

Iowa City and University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics offered the enticing possibility of new experiences and opportunities for personal growth, while simultaneously providing me with the comfort and familiarity of a university hospital system with a close affiliation to their college of pharmacy similar to the one I knew in Madison, Wisconsin. Everyone was incredibly welcoming throughout the entirety of my interview process, and while still unfamiliar with the hospital and city, I knew I would feel right at home at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics.

Favorite Part of Iowa City

I've enjoyed checking out the local restaurants and breweries both downtown and around the hospital, and I'm excited to continue exploring the rest of the city throughout the year with my co-residents.
