<[Text subject to final changes by the Iowa Code Editor for Code 2024.]>

1. a. The university of Iowa hospitals and clinics shall administer a state-funded psychiatry residency and fellowship program for up to nine residents and up to two fellows, annually. The university of Iowa hospitals and clinics shall expand the psychiatry residency program to provide additional residency positions by providing financial support for residency positions which are in excess of the federal residency cap established by the federal Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Pub. L. No. 105-33.

b. The university of Iowa hospitals and clinics shall cooperate with the state mental health institutes at Independence and Cherokee, the state resource center at Woodward, the state training school at Eldora, and the Iowa medical and classification center at Oakdale in administering the program. Participating residents and fellows shall complete a portion of their psychiatry training at one of the state mental health institutes, the state resource center, the state training school, or the Iowa medical and classification center at Oakdale. For accreditation-required clinical experiences not available at the state mental health institutes, the state resource center, the state training school, or the Iowa medical and classification center at Oakdale, the residents of the psychiatry residency and fellowship program may utilize clinical rotations at the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics and its affiliates across the state.

2. The university of Iowa hospitals and clinics shall apply to the accreditation council for graduate medical education for approval of nine additional residency positions for each class of residents and the psychiatry residency and fellowship program shall award the total number of residency positions approved for each class of residents. The university of Iowa hospitals and clinics shall approve and award up to two fellowship positions annually. Preference in the awarding of residency and fellowship positions shall be given to candidates who are residents of Iowa, attended and earned an undergraduate degree from an Iowa college or university, or attended and earned a medical degree from a medical school in Iowa.

3. A psychiatry residency and fellowship program fund is created in the state treasury consisting of the moneys appropriated or credited to the fund by law. Notwithstanding section 8.33, moneys in the fund at the end of each fiscal year shall not revert to any other fund but shall remain in the psychiatry residency and fellowship program fund for use in subsequent fiscal years. Moneys in the fund are appropriated to the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics to be used for the purposes of the program. For the fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2023, there is appropriated from the general fund of the state to the psychiatry residency and fellowship program fund one hundred thousand dollars for each residency position approved and awarded under the program and one hundred fifty thousand dollars for each fellowship position approved and awarded under the program.
