Iowa’s statewide professional association for physicians has new leadership from the field of ophthalmology.

University of Iowa alumnus, Brian Privett, MD (‘11R) was installed as the 171st Iowa Medical Society (IMS) President. Privett practices ophthalmology at Iowa Eye Center in Cedar Rapids and has been involved in advocacy since his time in residency training at the UI. Alexis Warren, MD (‘21R), second-year ophthalmology resident at UI was elected to the IMS Resident Director position.
