Counseling Services

The UIHC, its GME administration, Program Directors and clinical staff involved in house staff training recognize that graduate medical and dental education places increasing responsibility on house staff members and requires sustained intellectual and physical effort. It is also well recognized that for some, these demands will, at times, cause physical and/or emotional stress. It is further recognized that spouses and children of house staff members may encounter similar stress during the course of residency and fellowship training. In all such instances, house staff physicians, dentists and members of their immediate families are encouraged to seek help. In that regard, a list of contacts and resources is provided below. All care provided at UIHC is available at no cost to the house staff member and is completely confidential.

Referral Assistance for Residents and Fellows:

Confidential referral services are available as needed for all residents and fellows. Contact Dianne Wasson, Director of the UI Health Plans Office, at (319) 356-7067 for assistance in locating counseling services.
