What’s in it

This bill relates to the medical residency training state matching grants program. Under current law, the program requires that a residency program including federal residency positions at the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics offer persons to whom a primary care residency position is awarded the opportunity to participate in a rural rotation to expose the resident to the rural areas of the state. Under current law, primary care specifically includes the practice area of psychiatry. Under the bill, the specified primary care practice areas are expanded to also include obstetrics, gynecology, family medicine, internal medicine, and emergency medicine.
