Overview

Mission

Provide the infrastructure, resources and oversight necessary to support a high quality residency program in psychiatry and the necessary learning environment required to train residents to become psychiatrists who will be highly qualified to either practice in the community or go on to further training in subspecialties.

What it reported doing in 2024

Mental health educationas of june 30, 2025, we employ 17 residents, one program coordinator, one program director, one associate program director, and several core residency faculty. The program continues to be successfully located on two campuses in des moines, (broadlawns medical center and unitypoint health). In addition, residents continue to have clinical rotations at the va hospital in des moines. The program continues to have several rotations that occur with state agencies, the va, state correctional facilities, and local/rural clinical practices. The psychiatry residency program has a current roster of 17 residents. The program requested and was approved to increase the resident complement from 16 (4 each training level) residents to 20 (5 each training level) residents. We filled our first class of five residents effective july 1, 2025. We expect to fill one extra resident each year until we have a full complement of 20 in 2028. The foundation also submitted an application to start an addiction psychiatry fellowship program that would take its first fellow starting july 2027. The application is currently being reviewed by the acgme rrc. We hope to receive a decision by summer of 2026. The fellowship program involves one year of training and would have one fellow. The program is currently undergoing some leadership changes as the program director has resigned effective the end of march 2026. We are currently in negotiations for a replacement program director.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
