We look forward to getting to know you during the application process. Applications to the Pediatrics & Medical Genetics and Genomics Residency are only accepted through Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). You also have to register with the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP # 1203765C0). Please, note you only have to apply to the Pediatrics & Medical Genetics and Genomics Residency Program.
We will have one position available to start 2025-2026.
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.
Your complete ERAS application must include:
- Medical school transcript
- Dean's letter
- Three letters of recommendation
- USMLE transcript
- ECFMG certificate (if applicable)
- Personal statement
- Photograph
Deadline
You must apply by December 1. We will interview applicants starting in October of the application period and finishing in January. Your interview will take place over two days – one day with pediatrics faculty and the other with medical genetics and genomics faculty.
I felt that every interviewer I had spent time on my application, and each of them literally recited parts of it back to me. I was very grateful and flattered they had spent that much time preparing for me.
