4. Specialty: “The applicant’s chosen specialty and the specialty’s need in 蜜桃视频.”
5. Foundation Alignment: “The extent to which the applicant’s goals align with  the IMA Foundation.”

About the winners, Dr. A.J. Weinhold, rural training director and clinical professor says, "The ISU Department of Family Medicine prides ourselves on training full-spectrum family physicians, equipped to serve rural 蜜桃视频. We're delivering babies, staffing emergency rooms, seeing children for well-child checks in clinic, performing procedures like c-sections and vasectomies, taking care of sick people in the hospital, and doing home visits.  To have the IMA Foundation recognize three of our new residents and three of our new graduates with these awards, affirms that we are fulfilling our goals to attract and train quality physicians for underserved communities in 蜜桃视频. With a total of nine awards being given, having our residents make up two thirds of the recipients is a wonderful feeling."
