The Interview

We interview over 100 applicants for 8 positions every year, beginning in October and ending in December. 

We changed to hybrid interviews during the 2024-2025 residency recruitment season, offering the option of either in-person or virtual interviews. Virtual interviews are preceded by a virtual evening social hour with several of our residents, while in-person interviews are preceded by a dinner with residents in downtown Iowa City. During the interview day, you will have the opportunity to speak with program leadership, chief residents, and more!
