"Our students and faculty enjoy a unique location in Iowa City, a unique town in the Midwest. It has the richness of culture and diversity found only in large metropolitan areas, yet contained in a small city 'packaging': safe, clean and friendly." Lakshmi Durairaj, M.B.B.S., M.S. Assistant Professor Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Occupational Medicine
