Medical education is one of the core missions of University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Department of Pediatrics. We provide the structure, resources, and guidance that ensures graduates of our pediatric subspecialty fellowship programs are ready to lead in their fields.
Our fellows receive training in:
- State-of-the-art, cutting edge clinical care.
- Effecting teaching tools so that they leave with the skills needed to mentor and train the next generation.
- Research including conduct, study design, data analysis, and publication.
Curriculum
Each fellowship program offers a specialty-specific core curriculum. In addition, a departmental curriculum covers topics common to all subspecialties, including research skills, epidemiology/biostatistics, quality improvement, leadership, wellness, professionalism, and business in health care. Every Wednesday, we host a Fellowship Core Curriculum conference in the Stead Family Children’s Hospital Conference Center.
Pediatric Scientists
Fellows in the UI Health Care Stead Family Department of Pediatrics who have interest in a career as a physician scientist are encouraged to consider applying for the Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP).
Enrichment
Fellowship training is a small, but very important part of a physician’s medical training. We want your time at University of Iowa and in the Iowa City area to be professionally and personally enriching. Iowa City and its surrounding communities often appear on “best places to live” lists. We host regular wellness activities and social events to help you maintain a positive work-life balance.
