A bill for an act requiring the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics to give priority to certain Iowa residents in awarding certain residencies and fellowships and to include rural rotations in certain residencies and fellowships.

HF 301 requires the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics to prioritize Iowa residents, Iowa college/university graduates, or Iowa medical school graduates for federal medical residency and fellowship positions. It also mandates that primary care and psychiatry trainees complete rural rotations to gain exposure to rural healthcare settings across Iowa. The bill directly affects medical training programs at the University of Iowa, changing how candidates are selected and adding rural experience requirements. These are concrete policy changes to increase Iowa-focused medical training and rural healthcare exposure.
