Bill > HF12

This bill requires the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) to offer interviews for medical residency positions to applicants who meet specific geographic and educational criteria. Specifically, the bill mandates interviews for candidates specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, general surgery, emergency medicine, cardiology, neurology, or primary care, who are either Iowa residents, graduated from an Iowa undergraduate institution, or earned their medical degree from an Iowa medical school. Additionally, the bill requires UIHC to provide Iowa medical students the opportunity to participate in "audition clinicals" in their desired residency specialty, which allows the university to evaluate the student's clinical performance. The legislation further stipulates that UIHC must submit an annual report to the governor and general assembly by January 15, detailing information about these audition clinicals and interviews, including the medical school of each participant, whether audition clinicals or interviews were offered and accepted, whether applicants were accepted into residency positions, and the total number of positions filled by applicants meeting the specified criteria.
