Our program can train up to three fellows at a time, and can accept one new fellow each year if we have appropriate funding. Because fellowship funding is often derived from federal training grants, we are only able to offer positions to U.S. citizens or permanent residents holding green cards. Foreign medical graduates who have an ECFMG certificate may also apply with the understanding that in certain years our funding may be limited. Application materials are accepted after the beginning of the PL2 residency year.

Application Materials Needed:

• Completed application
  • Download Application Form (.doc)
• Résumé/Curriculum Vitae
• Personal Statement (limit to one page)
• Four letters of recommendation including:
  1. Medical School Dean’s letter (same as required for residency)

• USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Examination Scores
• Pediatric In-Training Examination Scores for PL-1 and PL-2 years

* Both the University of Iowa and our endocrinology fellowship program are committed to fostering gender, ethnic and racial diversity. The University of Iowa began admitting African-American students from its inception in the mid-19th Century. It was also the first public institution in the country to admit women on an equal basis with men. This legacy and the enormous importance of diversity in the global community of the 21st Century underscore our institution's commitment to improving access to opportunity for all members of society, especially women and underrepresented minorities.
