There is life outside the hospital
You’ll have time to call your own and a great place to enjoy that time.
Our focus is on success and creating a strong work-life balance. We back that up with support and encouragement for you to be a complete person.
Success is in your hands
You’ll receive the tools, opportunities, and the support to make a difference in the lives of the thousands of patients you’ll encounter at Iowa.
Iowa’s Family Medicine faculty want to see three things:
- Let us know your passion so we can help you explore your interests, hone your skills, and prepare you for just about anything.
- Ask the “what if” questions to help us push our field to change as the health care needs of our patients change.
- Show us your teamwork ability so we can give you opportunities to lead, to follow, and to always be a valued member of our expert care teams.
Enjoy your residency interview experience
Sure, there’s pressure to compete for a handful of resident opportunities, but our interviewers want you to enjoy your interview day and your interactions with our residents and faculty.
The best advice from our selection committee: Relax and be yourself.
Iowa is a family-friendly program
Our family leave and health care benefits help you support a strong family while pursuing your residency training. Our program also holds family-oriented and partner-oriented activities throughout the year. Several childcare facilities are located close to the hospital and Iowa City public schools are among the state’s finest.
