Mission Statement

is dedicated to providing excellence in pediatric care to the infants,
children, and adolescents of Iowa and surrounding states. Patient care
is provided in an academic setting that encourages the use of evidence
based knowledge and encourages patients, parents, families, and trainees
to be active participants in the health care process. Division faculty
members demonstrate excellence in teaching, create and disseminate new
knowledge, and serve in positions of responsibility in professional organizations.
The Division is comprised of 15 university-based pediatricians,
