Curriculum
The first two years curriculum helps students identify and develop the skills, knowledge, awareness and sensitivities that are the basis of medicine. A first-year medical student at Iowa learns the factual and technical language of the field, comes to understand the structure and function of the body in health and disease and begins to apply this knowledge of pathophysiology to clinical problems. The curriculum also seeks to orient medicine in the larger social context in which conflicting values, goals, economic motives and political forces shape health care access and delivery. Second year students continue basic science study, applying what they have learned about the body systems in order to understand how disease processes alter those systems and their regulation as well as how the body responds to illness and injury. The final two years improve basic clinical skills, expand experience in generalist and subspecialty medical disciplines and offer opportunities to develop the advanced skills necessary for residency training and lifelong learning.
