Why I chose Broadlawns-UnityPoint Psychiatry Residency

I felt drawn to a community program close to my hometown. The warmth and friendliness of the staff—from Becca to Dr. Lundquist, the other attendings, and all the residents—were truly compelling. The low cost of living and relatively generous resident stipend were also major advantages.

Favorite thing about Des Moines

Des Moines has small town feel with big town amenities and opportunities. The paved bike trails connecting the city make it a biker's paradise.
