Come and see for yourself. Yes, Iowa has topnotch training as well as fantastic staff and residents. Honestly, the same can be said for many Otolaryngology programs—it's a great field! However, there is a quality and character to the people and program here that is hard to put into words. Although it is difficult to describe, it's easy to feel ​the difference. So, come and see, and you won't be disappointed!
