A Multidisciplinary Approach
Surgery Training
The University of Iowa Breast Clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic, with breast surgery, medical oncology, and genetic counselors working together in the same space, while breast imaging and radiation oncology is only a short walk away. Our fellows are successful in academic surgery, as leaders of community breast centers, and as private-practice breast surgeons.

In This Together
During the application process I found the University of Iowa, it has a very strong academic reputation and so I applied. And when I interviewed here I just absolutely loved the faculty, and everyone was so collegial. It was my top choice.
