Application Information*

Our three year program generally includes up to 3 fellows at a time, normally accepting one new fellow each year. See the listing of fellowships on the Journal of Pediatrics website.

Our program will enter the match and we will use ERAS. At the current time, we can only consider applications from U.S. citizens or permanent residents holding green cards, as funding is usually from federal training grants. Highly qualified foreign medical graduates who are ECFMG certified and do not need financial support may also apply.

Requirements for this program are U.S. citizenship (or permanent Visa), the completion of a three-year pediatric residency program, and the necessary qualifications for a resident's physician licensure in the State of Iowa. This license may be obtained by either passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) or other examinations that have reciprocity with the Sate of Iowa.

Application Materials Needed:

• Completed application - Download Application (doc)

* Both the University of Iowa and the Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Nutrition 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.
