UNIVERSITY OF IOWA CARVER COLLEGE OF MEDICINE LEADERSHIP
Brooks Jackson, MD, MBA
Vice President for Medical Affairs Dean, Carver College of Medicine
Patricia Winokur, MD
Executive Dean Carver College of Medicine
I have been at the Carver College of Medicine for over 20 years, and I’ve seen our students accomplish incredible things during their time here and into their careers. Faculty mentors, staff members in the Office of Student Affairs and Curriculum, and peers in the Learning Communities contribute to those accomplishments. The ability to interact with researchers, educators, and physicians with UI Health Care — whether at UI Hospitals & Clinics, the Des Moines branch campus, or in communities around Iowa — provides experiences available only to a student at one of the largest teaching hospitals in the country. Maybe you’re interested in ethics and humanities, or global health and infectious diseases. Maybe health care delivery systems or teaching pique your interest. Do you want to be a leader — perhaps the mayor of your Learning Community — or participate in research with world-renowned physician-scientists? Or is it your goal to provide service to your community and interact with patients who speak different languages? All of these are possibilities at the Carver College of Medicine. You can make your education your own and craft your own outcomes. Most of all, what you’ll experience is an educational institution and local community committed to your success. During your visit, I’m certain you’ll get a glimpse into what the Carver College of Medicine has to offer for you.

3 BECOMING A DOCTOR
our mission is simple: changing medicine. changing lives. at the carver college of medicine, we do that by inspiring and educating students to become world-class health care providers and scientists for iowa and the world.
Types of Doctors Medicine offers a lot of career choices. Many doctors treat patients full-time, while others also teach, conduct research, manage hospitals and clinics, or help develop health policy. There is no single road to becoming a doctor, but most medical career paths share key characteristics. Doctors fall into two main groups: primary care doctors or specialists.
What Makes Us Different? Our Curriculum As a medical student at Iowa, you’ll get a lot of hands-on experience, including opportunities to learn from real doctors— and real patients—in hospital or clinic setting.
Our Distinction Tracks Six distinction tracks allow you to follow your own personal interests and career goals.
We’re an Academic Medical Center Being an academic medical center means that we teach and train future doctors and scientists, take care of patients, and do medical research. As a student, you’ll get the opportunity to work and learn with some of the top medical experts in the world.
You’ll Be Part of a Community Being a doctor means being part of a health care team. Our Learning Communities allow you to work with other students, become a leader, and gain experience beyond the classroom or clinic.
medicine.uiowa.edu
Primary Care Doctors The term “primary care” refers to the medical fields that treat most common health problems: family medicine, general internal medicine, pediatrics (children’s health), and in some cases obstetrics and gynecology (women’s health). Specialists Specialists concentrate on diseases or problems that affect specific parts of the body. They may treat patients with complicated illnesses who are sent to them by primary care doctors or other specialists.
Types of Degrees Whatever their focus, all doctors must hold one of two degrees. Most have an MD (doctor of medicine) degree, and some hold a DO (doctor of osteopathy) degree. The two types of degrees reflect different theories and practices of medicine – allopathy and osteopathy – but medical licensing authorities recognize both training paths. Besides the MD, doctors may hold other degrees, like a PhD (doctor of philosophy) or master’s degrees in the sciences or in fields like public health or hospital administration.
BECOMING A DOCTOR 4
Medical Scientist Training Program If you are interested in biomedical research, the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) offers you the opportunity to earn both MD and PhD degrees. The MSTP typically gives you the education and training to work as both a doctor and a scientist. Program Affiliations Admitted students tend to have records of high academic achievement, including good scores on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), a national examination that all medical school applicants must take. The entire process takes seven to eight years, and then the length of your residency and fellowship will depend on the specialty you select. After earning your combined degree, you may choose to begin a clinical residency program. Students often go on to apply this combined clinical and research experience to careers as faculty members at academic medical centers. Learn more: medicine.uiowa.edu/mstp

NEW HORIZONS CURRICULUM The Carver College of Medicine’s innovative New Horizons curriculum features the integration of basic sciences with clinical application and experiences that increase a student’s ability to individually tailor their educational experience. Students begin their supervised clinical clerkships after just three semesters of preclinical instruction, rather than the more common four-semester format. The goal of the curriculum is to develop enduring attitudes, skills, and knowledge that will provide focus and direction for tomorrow’s physicians in a future that cannot be easily predicted.

DISTINCTION TRACKS 6
CARVER DISTINCTION TRACKS Our college offers distinction tracks to help you individualize your education and specialize in an area related to medicine that you are passionate about. The pursuit of distinction tracks is documented within a student’s Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) and noted on their final transcript. GLOBAL HEALTH DISTINCTION TRACK The Global Health Distinction Track supports and guides students in developing expertise in global health with the goal of subsequent career involvement, involving service, policy making, research, and teaching. Issues in the field focus on health inequities including the social determinants of health, infectious and non-communicable disease issues, human rights as well as economic development, and healthcare policy and system issues. n
Global Health courses need to be taken during the first year and track intention declared in the second year.
HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SCIENCE, MANAGEMENT AND POLICY DISTINCTION TRACK This track exposes students to the innovations and integrations of healthcare delivery outside of direct patient care. Partnering with faculty from the Tippie College of Business, this track enriches the College of Medicine’s core curriculum by offering students a program designed to produce physician leaders of tomorrow. Students apply to the track during the fall of their M1 year. Requirements of the track include attending 9 of 12 education seminars (topics such as Negotiations, Managerial Accounting, Economics of Chronic Disease Management, E-Health), a leadership course, and completion of a capstone project. n
Students must apply to the track in the spring semester of their M1 year.
HUMANITIES DISTINCTION TRACK The Humanities Distinction Track (HDT) focuses on the humanistic and artistic dimensions of medical education by taking a critical, transdisciplinary approach to the humanities and arts in the context of medical school. The track is designed to advance the connections between arts, humanities and medicine by providing mentorship to medical student as they work to complete an HDT capstone project in creative writing, literature, philosophy, religion, visual and performing arts, history, social sciences and/or public policy. n
RESEARCH DISTINCTION TRACK The goal of the Research Distinction Track (RDT) is to encourage students to participate in research in a meaningful and substantial way over their 4 years of medical school. This exposure to training in scientific thinking should be an experience that will enrich their medical training. Briefly, the RDT is designed to allow students to be formally recognized for their participation in on-going medical research during their time in medical school. This is not considered to be a program in which a “degree” (e.g. Master’s) is granted. n
Students must apply to the track before the end of their M2 year.
SERVICE DISTINCTION TRACK The purpose of the Carver College of Medicine Service Distinction Track is to encourage, support, and recognize medical students who work extensively with medically underserved, marginalized, and rural populations during their medical school careers. Students will have the chance to pursue volunteering with underserved patient populations during medical school and focus on underserved patient experiences in a meaningful way by applying academic theory to actual practice. They will also have the opportunity to become self-directed learners by working in collaboration with communities on health care issues through a capstone project. n
Students have until the end of the second year of medical school to apply to the track.
TEACHING DISTINCTION TRACK The purpose of the Teaching Distinction Track is to prepare and equip Carver College of Medicine students to be effective educators. It will help prepare students to be productive educators at an academic medical center and to be effective educators at the community level. It will also better prepare students for involvement and contribution to academic medicine. Participants will benefit with enhanced teaching skills in small group or one-on-one teaching. n
Students must apply to the track by December 15 of their M2 year.
Students must apply to the track by December 31 of their M2 year.

1 1 RURAL PROGRAM
CARVER RURAL IOWA SCHOLARS PROGRAM Iowa and the nation are facing a physician shortage—especially in rural areas. The Carver College of Medicine’s Rural Iowa Scholars Program (CRISP) is designed to help alleviate this shortage. CRISP focuses on rural medicine throughout medical school. Students begin the program the summer before their first semester of medical school by shadowing a physician mentor in a rural community. Rural elements are then embedded in all four years of their medical education through mentorships, seminars, research, and electives. In addition, required clerkships lay the foundation for developing skills necessary to succeed as a rural practitioner. Pictured above are the graduates of the first CRISP class. Launched in the fall of 2012, CRISP educational experiences were designed with input from an advisory council comprised of clinicians practicing in rural Iowa, executives of critical access hospitals, and representatives from the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Health Care System and the Iowa Academy of Family Physicians.
Students who have been offered admission to the Carver College of Medicine can apply for admission to CRISP. Admission to the program is granted to four first-year students each fall. Admission requirements include the following: n
Prior exposure to rural life
n
Commitment to practice medicine in Iowa
n
Understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a rural physician
n
Personal characteristics important in the practice of rural medicine
In addition to enhanced educational opportunities, CRISP offers a loan repayment program to CRISP graduates who: n
n
Match into an internal medicine, general surgery, family medicine, pediatrics, or psychiatry residency program Commit to practice in an eligible community (population less than 26,000, at least 20 miles from a city with population of 50,000) for a period of five years immediately after successful completion of the residency program
