The bill mandates a study to assess the feasibility of transitioning the University of Iowa College of Medicine and Des Moines University Osteopathic Medical Center from four-year medical programs to three-year programs. This study will analyze other medical schools that have made similar transitions, focusing on the outcomes and the potential for reduced costs for students.

The findings and recommendations from this study are required to be compiled into a report and submitted to the governor and the general assembly by December 1, 2025. The bill emphasizes the collaborative effort between the two institutions in conducting this study and aims to explore the implications of such a significant change in medical education duration.
