About Mark E. Burkard

As an oncologist, I want to do the very best for each patient. This involves not only delivering cutting edge care today, but also looking for opportunities to give patients better options through research. I joined UI in the role of Cancer Center Director because it provides not only the opportunity to do this for my patients directly, but to work with wonderful colleagues to optimize cancer care across Iowa.
