The Interview

In compliance with institutional, state, and national recommendations, our program will be solely conducting virtual interviews for the 2022-2023 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 190 candidates for 15 positions beginning November 2 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 Interview Broker, enabling you to self-schedule your interview. 

What should I expect on the interview day?

Your interview day will begin around 10 a.m. and conclude around 2 p.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.
