Chief Residents ๐ซก Drs. Duncan, Bentz, and Smith had the amazing opportunity to grow as leaders by attending the SAEM conference in Atlanta.
We can't wait to see what they learned and how to apply their new knowledge as the inaugural chiefs for our program!
We love the zoo! We took a field trip to our neighbors at the Omaha Zoo to learn about medical care for venomous snake bites.
As a bonus, we had the chance to meet some snakes, along with a back stage tour which included feeding the alligators.

We are sad that the college football season is officially over. Our residents had a blast covering the Iowa State Football games this year. Medical emergencies can happen anywhere, anytime, and our residents always step up to the plate.
Until next year. Onto basketball!
Happy New Year from our crew!
Our last conference of the year presented our residents with a challenge they are very familiar with, multitasking. As they rushed to create gingerbread houses for the children's hospital wing, they simultaneously had to compete in trivia.
The inaugural residency Iowa vs Cornhuskersย superbowl is off to a great start with a Hawkeye win! Our lifetime Nebraska fans including our PD and PGY-2 were ecstatic to wear Hawkeye attire today at conference in celebration.
See you next year, go Hawks!
Happy Halloween ๐
Our residents were surprised with a spooky escape room during conference in our simulation lab. Beware, not all those who enter make it out alive ๐
Our attendings are the best, and we appreciate them for creating a scary, fun, and challenging escape room!
Recruitment season is in full swing!
We had so much fun hanging out with University of Iowa medical students who are interested in EM. Thanks to @VineIowaCity for having us!
Race Day in Des Moines ๐
Our residents had the opportunity to participate as EMS providers for IndyCar and NASCAR races this summer. It was loud, it was fast, it was hot.
Needless to say, we had a great time. Can't wait for next year!
