We share this site with University of Iowa medical students. This busy clinic is located directly across the street from the hospital. There are also satellite clinics in which the student may spend some time. Your main preceptor will be Julie Hamann, M.D., the only female physician in the clinic, who is a mother of three sons. On an average day, Dr. Hamann sees approximately 30 patients.
