Our residents would welcome hearing from you directly, via email or through social media.

One of the best ways to get familiar with a residency program is to hear what our current residents have to say about their experiences.

Our faculty members

Our faculty members bring valuable perspectives from their training around the country. The more than 50 faculty members in our department represent all surgical specialties and bring to their work a dedication to surgical education. As teachers and mentors, our goal is to bring out your best as a surgeon.

Your fellow residents

Your fellow residents are, just like you, dedicated to rewarding and meaningful careers in the practice of surgery. They come to Iowa from around the world, drawn here by a comprehensive training program, outstanding work environment, and the prospect of practice opportunities and further training afforded by their experiences here.

Our patients

Our patients are also part of the training equation. They come to University of Iowa Health Care to receive the very best care from experts who are passionate about delivering it in a personable way. As Iowa’s only academic medical center, we see a comprehensive mix of challenging cases and have the privilege to work with many cultures and languages.
