Medical Residency and Fellowship Financial Benefits: Stipends

The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) supports graduate medical and dental education programs through the provision of a yearly stipend for house staff physicians and dentists. The purpose of this stipend is to enable each house staff member and his/her family to maintain a comfortable standard of living within the Iowa City community. Physicians and dentists in advanced years of training are granted increments above the House Staff I stipend level. Studies relative to the level of stipends required to accomplish these goals are conducted on a continuing basis at the UIHC and have resulted in annual stipend increases over the years.

*House Staff level is equal to the number of years of graduate medical or dental training completed toward meeting board eligibility requirements of the specialty in which the house staff member is currently training.

Payment of stipends will begin the first day of the month following the contracted start date and will continue on the first day of each following month.
