This bill mandates that the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics prioritize certain applicants when awarding federal residency positions and fellowships. Specifically, it requires that preference be given to individuals who are Iowa residents, have earned an undergraduate degree from an Iowa college or university, or have obtained a medical degree from a medical school in Iowa. This initiative aims to support local talent and ensure that the healthcare workforce reflects the community it serves.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics must offer opportunities for rural rotations to those awarded primary care residency or fellowship positions, including psychiatry. This provision is designed to enhance the exposure of residents and fellows to rural areas of Iowa, thereby addressing healthcare needs in less populated regions of the state.
