The Interview

In compliance with institutional, state, and national recommendations, our program will be solely conducting virtual interviews for the 2023-2024 residency NRMP Match cycle. We will not offer in-person interviews or visits to our site in support of minimizing health risks associated with travel during this coronavirus pandemic and to provide an equitable interview experience to all applicants. 

We will interview approximately 200 candidates for 15 positions beginning October 21 and ending mid-January. Orientation for all new residents begins June 24, so you must be available for that start date and be licensed in Iowa by June 30.

Invitations to interview

Invitations from our program will be extended via Thalamus, enabling you to self-schedule your interview. 

What should I expect on the interview day?

Your interview day will begin around 8 a.m. and conclude around 11:30 a.m. (Central Time Zone), on the Zoom platform.  The components of your day will include an overview of the program, followed by Q&A with our chief residents, a virtual tour, interviews with the program director and two other faculty members and a current pediatric resident.
