What’s in it

This bill requires the state board of regents to adopt a policy requiring that not less than percent of the students accepted at the colleges of medicine and dentistry at the university of Iowa be residents of Iowa or persons who, prior to applying to the college of medicine or dentistry, were enrolled in a community college in Iowa, an accredited private institution in Iowa, or a regents university. The bill also requires the university of Iowa, in collaboration with the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics (UIHC), to submit an annual report to the general assembly with information relating to the residency of graduates of the colleges of dentistry and medicine, and UIHC residency programs and fellowships post-graduation and medical residency.
