Special Features
The smaller size of our program allows for strong working relationships with our subspecialists, especially in Critical Care, Cardiology, and Ambulatory Medicine. We see a broad range of pathology in our patient population as we serve a large area of Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota. Our institution also offers Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology Fellowships as well as a Family Medicine Residency.
