David L. Bushnell MD

Dr. Bushnell, MD, joined the VA staff in 1992 and currently serves as the Chief of Diagnostic Imaging Services at the Iowa City VA Medical Center. He is also a Professor of Radiology at the University of Iowa and serves as a board member for the Iowa City VA Medical Research Foundation (ICVARF). Dr. Bushnell has primarily participated in research involving the treatment of various types of cancer, including Lymphoma, prostate cancer, and neuroendocrine cancer using radioactive drugs. He originally came to work for the VA because he was never drafted for the Vietnam War like many of his fellow contemporaries. As a result, he felt an obligation to somehow give back to those who had served in the war. Dr. Bushnell has enjoyed his personal and intellectual interactions with his co-investigators through various research endeavors.
