Broadlawns Medical Center serves as the county hospital for one of the most populated and diverse counties in Iowa. It has served for multiple decades as a teaching hospital and Fellows will be expected to work and educate medical students and family medicine residents. All candidates will need to have completed a Family Medicine Residency and be Board Certified by the ABFM or board eligible. Fellows will receive a very competitive salary, health benefits, housing stipend and or a spot in the on campus resident housing.
