What’s in it

AI summary The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics must offer interviews to certain medical applicants who are also Iowa residents or went to school in the state. This rule applies to people training in specific areas like psychiatry, surgery, or primary care, as well as cardiology specialists. Every year, the hospital must send a report to state leaders about these interviews.1

The UIHC shall annually submit a report to the governor and the general assembly by January containing information regarding the interviews as detailed in the bill.
