Board of Directors
Meet Our 2011-2012 Iowa Academy of Family Physicians Board of Directors
Executive Committee
President
Jeffrey Hoffmann, DO
Guttenberg
I graduated from the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Des Moines in 1984, and did my Family Practice Residency at Broadlawns Medical Center, Des Moines. After completing a 4 year Public Health commitment in Rock Rapids, Iowa, I've been in Guttenberg since 1991.
I am active on the IAAFP Board because I feel the rural family physician needs to be an advocate not only for their patients, but their peers as well. I feel that the board has given me that opportunity. I would encourage all family physicians, not only to be a member of the IAAFP, but to actively participate as well.
