The Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine is an integral part of The University of Iowa. It contributes to the education of several thousand University students, is home to ground-breaking research in a wide array of disciplines, and provides a statewide educational health care resource.

The Carver College of Medicine is the only college in Iowa that offers a curriculum leading to the Doctor of Medicine. It also is home to the Division of Associated Medical Sciences, which provides programs of education and training for physician assistants, clinical laboratory scientists, nuclear medicine technologists, physical therapists, and radiation sciences professionals.

The college participates in the education of students in the Colleges of Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health, and in the life-sciences and health-related programs of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Engineering, and the Graduate College.

Health professionals from throughout the Midwest take part in the college's year-round program of continuing medical education. They update their knowledge and skills through refresher courses, clinics, and conferences.

Doctor of Medicine and other health science students have a number of opportunities to gain experience in private medical offices and community hospitals. M.D. graduates may pursue further training in the specialties of family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and pediatrics at one of 10 University of Iowa-affiliated residency programs in six Iowa cities. They also have access to two transitional-year programs. The Carver College of Medicine also offers a variety of services in support of Iowa physicians and community hospitals.

In addition to its responsibilities for educating physicians, the college addresses broad public issues of distribution and organization of health care services. Its faculty members advise and serve on national, state, and regional health planning councils, health boards, and various health agencies; some faculty members also take part in the University's Center for Health Services Research.

Accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education of the American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges, the Carver College of Medicine meets the requirements of all state licensing boards. Its M.D. diploma admits the holder to all privileges granted to graduates of all medical colleges before such boards. All other professional programs administered by the college are accredited by their respective accrediting bodies.
