Deadlines

Normally, applications are accepted until October 1 each year. 

Fellowships usually start on July 1 and end on June 30 of the following year.

Orientation for new fellows begins July 1, so you must be available for that start date and be licensed in Iowa by June 30.

Criteria for Applicants

The University of Iowa endeavors to attract the highest caliber and most suitable applicants to become ophthalmology fellows. 

Glaucoma fellows must have successfully completed an Accredited Ophthalmology Residency by the start of the fellowship (July 1).

We place a high emphasis on providing sub-specialty training for clinical ophthalmology and research. Letters of recommendation, performance on OKAP and other national examinations, extracurricular activities and the applicant's personal statement are criteria that are considered prior to offering applicants an interview.

The Interview

We feel like our program is best highlighted with in-person interviews (the facility, people, and community), so we prefer in-person whenever possible. However, we understand that busy interview and residency schedules sometimes require a Zoom option, which we will be able to arrange when necessary. We look forward to meeting you!
