Welcome to University of Iowa Stead Family Department of Pediatric Residency Program. The pediatric residency program at University of Iowa Health Care is accredited by the Accrediation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Information specific to program requirements for a pediatric training program may be found at the ACGME's Pediatric Residency Review Committee (RCC).
We are confident you can find what you're looking for here: broad clinical exposure to all aspects of primary and tertiary care pediatrics, outstanding evidence-baed curriculums, extensive teaching and mentorship, unparalleled research opportunities, and passionate, engaged colleagues. We're lucky to have all of this in a dynamic, diverse, and safe city.
We prioritize a few things in our program:
Individualized rotation scheduling focused on career exploration
Collaborative residents, fellows, and faculty members

Our program can give you great clinical experiences with lots of flexibility in scheduling, and close relationships with your colleagues and supervisors. We really are a community here.
Check out our state-of-the-art University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children's Hospital. It opened in early 2017, and with it we grew the size of our faculty, increased our clinical volume, improved access to our resources, and engaged the community and the state. It's an exciting time to be at Iowa.
About half of our graduates go on to primary care pediatrics, and about half match into choice fellowships across the country. We encourage you to review our website to get to know the people and opportunities that make our program great.
