Students and Trainees

UI Health Care is Iowa's premier academic medical center, the combination of the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, UI Health Care Medical Centers, and UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital. We are the education home of students preparing for a variety of health care professions.

Iowa's combination of dedicated faculty, nationally rated programs, outstanding facilities, top-tier salaries and benefits, and a livable university community make it a choice you'll want to consider. Our Office of Graduate Medical Education coordinates with residency directors in our academic departments to assist you with each step in the process of becoming a UI Health Care resident or fellow.

In addition to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree program, the UI Carver of College offers a master's degree in medical education, the medical scientist training program, professional programs to prepare physician assistants and physical therapists, and master's and PhD programs in basic science departments.

You'll find links to residency program descriptions, faculty listings, and research activities for each of our academic departments.

UI Health Care researchers actively participate in research projects with colleagues throughout the world. Many of the activities of our researchers are coordinated through the services of the Institute for Clinical and Translational Science.
