With last week’s Fellowship Match Day, many of our graduating residents can breathe a sigh of relief as their next couple years become much clearer. The Department is proud to announce that every one of our residents who entered the fellowship match met with success. This year’s 100% placement rate raises our five-year rolling average to 98%. It also allows us to add a few new logos to our map.
“We are pleased that so many graduates chose the University of Iowa’s fellowship programs to continue their training,” Dr. Manish Suneja, Internal Medicine Residency Program Director, said. “We know completing their residency training at one of the top-ranked programs in the country makes them strong and sought-after candidates nationally. They are as competitive as the openings they will fill here.”
