This bill requires the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics (UIHC) to offer an interview for an available medical residency position to any applicant who has a specified residency specialty and who also is a resident of Iowa, attended and earned an undergraduate degree from an Iowa college or university, or attended and earned a medical degree from a medical school in Iowa. The bill also requires the UIHC to provide the opportunity to medical students attending a medical school in Iowa to participate in audition rotations to allow the university to constructively review the students in clinical settings. The UIHC shall submit a report to the governor and the general assembly by January 15, annually, regarding the audition rotations and interviews specified in the bill, including for each audition rotation or interview the name of the student’s or applicant’s medical school, whether the student was offered and participated in an audition rotation, whether an applicant was offered and participated in an interview, whether the applicant was accepted for one of the residency program positions, and the total number of available residency positions filled by an applicant meeting the criteria of the bill.
