The University of Iowa Anesthesia Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Fellowship Program uses the Central Application Service administered by SF Match.

We offer dual fellowship training in Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine through the standard exception agreement system. If you are interested, please apply to both programs separately and notify our program coordinator at Anes-Fellowship@uiowa.edu.

The interview

We conduct all our interviews online. The online-only interview requirement applies to all candidates, internal or external, so that we may provide an equitable experience to all applicants.

We typically interview 10-12 candidates for 1 position. Interviews take place February through April. Match Day for the Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Fellowship is usually the first week in June for the following academic year start.

Invitations to interview

Interview invitations from our program will be extended via SFMatch. You will be able to see available times and dates and self-schedule your interview.

What should I expect on the interview day?

Your interview day will be roughly 4 hours. Morning sessions will run 8 a.m. to noon, and afternoon sessions will be 1-5 p.m. Each session will feature a breakout session for Q&A with our current fellow.

We plan to conduct interviews on the Zoom platform. The interview day includes an overview of the program, a virtual tour, and interviews with the program director and other faculty.
