Our program includes up to two fellows at a time. All applicants must have completed an ACGME accredited residency in a primary care specialty (Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology). Because fellowship funding is primarily derived from federal training grants, we usually are only able to consider applications from U.S. citizens or permanent residents holding green cards. Foreign medical graduates who have an ECFMG certificate and do not need financial support may also apply. Application materials are accepted after the beginning of the PL2 residency year.
Application Materials Needed:
- Completed application
- Résumé/Curriculum Vita
- Personal Statement (limit to one page)
- Four letters of recommendation including:
- • Medical School Dean's letter (same as required for residency)
- • Pediatric Residency Director, and
- • Two additional faculty (or other appropriate individuals of your choice)
- USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Examination Scores
- Copy of ECFMG Certificate (applies to international medical graduates only)
- Passport-style photograph (optional)

* Both the University of Iowa and our medical genetics residency 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.
