"The TY residency program at Iowa Health is simply excellent. The administrative staff are extremely supportive and are always striving to improve the program. I feel that I had an outstanding education in general medicine, and would be comfortable entering an R2 position in internal medicine or family medicine. That is how strong our education in general medicine is. However, I was able to tailor my education to prepare me for my categorical residency."
Jill Moore, M.D., Dermatology Resident, Oregon Health and Science University

"I really enjoyed my time in the Iowa Methodist Transitional Year Residency Program - I had a great year. There was a great support structure in place for residents and the program emphasis was definitely always on learning and not just on service and getting the work done. I really appreciated the many excellent educational conferences and the emphasis on teaching during daily patient care rounds."
Shawn Sato, M.D., Radiology Resident, University of Iowa
