We can follow the mother throughout the pregnancy, labor and delivery and will then take care of the baby. Family Practice physicians are uniquely trained to cover all facets of the family care- newborn to geriatric care. Are your doctors Board Certified? top All of our physicians are licensed by the State of Iowa, and all of our faculty physicians are Board Certified. Board Certification is obtained through the American Board of Family Medicine. . In order to receive that certification, a physician must complete three years of training in the specialty of Family Medicine.
