Northeast Iowa Family Practice Center

In the early 1970's, Waterloo was experiencing a shortage of family physicians. Through the efforts of the local hospitals, area physicians and community leaders, the Northeast Iowa Medical Education Foundation was founded in 1975 to develop a Family Medicine training program.

The Family Medicine Residency Program is the branch of the Foundation which provides physicians with three years of additional training in the specialty of family medicine. During their training, resident physicians provide comprehensive health care under the supervision of board certified family medicine physicians. Upon graduation, these physicians provide a potential source of family physicians settling to practice in the community.
