    This is the only university hospital I found to be welcoming, supportive of their trainees and enthusiastic about teaching. Allowing me to fulfill my dream of becoming a U.S. trained pediatrician.

    Dr. Anita Unnithan

    I’m originally from North Carolina and I chose to come to Iowa because it reminded me so much of home. I already harbored an interest in Pediatric Cardiology as a medical student and soon discovered that the University of Iowa Department of Pediatrics would be more than able and willing to help pursue that endeavor as a resident.

    I took an instantaneous liking to Iowa when I came for my interview. The city’s charm got to me. I loved the hospital and the program. I felt automatically at home with the people “making” the program. It felt like the place for me.

    I felt that the University of Iowa Pediatrics Residency program would be a great place to train because of exposure to both general pediatrics and subspecialties. I was also drawn to the friendly atmosphere at the hospital and overall family friendly community of Iowa City.

    I chose Iowa for several reasons: I was impressed with the faculty and their commitment to teaching; I found Iowa City to be a fantastic place to be a father, husband and bicycle commuter; the facility is great and support staff are kind and helpful.

    I grew up in Dubuque and wanted to get back close to family. Everyone at Iowa was so friendly and helpful during my interview. Iowa does so much for the kids of Iowa, I knew I had to be here.

    The three things that have made Iowa a great fit for me are mentorship, research and excellent patient care. I see so many opportunities to pursue my clinical research interests as a resident and someday as a fellow physician. 

    Michael Colburn

    Dr. Michael Colburn

    Midwestern patients with Midwestern attitudes=best patients in the country. Big city options with small town conveniences; there’s nothing like knowing your neighbor. Great doctors make great teachers.

    The faculty are excellent mentors. Their willingness to teach and availability to residents and students goes above and beyond my expectations.

    Dr. Steven Haasken

    The collegiality and camaraderie between the staff and residents was more akin to a family rather than a workplace. This relationship makes me feel like this was a place that I could excel in Pediatrics.

    I decided to come to Iowa because in addition to being a renowned academic center, the faculty, staff and people in general are extremely warm and friendly, making me feel right at home.
