    I came to Iowa because I wanted a strong academic program with good OB and GYN numbers that truly prioritized its resident education mission and offered the full spectrum of family planning training. Since coming here, I have learned that the attendings are incredibly personable, that Iowa City is a delightfully livable place, the support staff are wonderful, and my co-residents are amazing.

    I chose Iowa because I felt right at home when I came for my interview, and the feeling has continued through residency. The program attracts well-rounded, hard working, supportive, can-do residents who have fun inside and outside of work. The education is great with plenty of exposure to high risk patients combined with routine patients that I expect to encounter after residency. Iowa City is family friendly, full of fun activities, and has a great medical center…without traffic—what more could a resident ask for?!

    I chose Iowa because of the perfect combination of family friendly environment with amazing resident camaraderie and of course, the world class education we get as residents.
