To apply for the ophthalmic pathology fellowship please contact the Ophthalmology Fellowship Match.

All applicants must register and apply through the SF Match Central Application Service (CAS).

We do accept applications from foreign medical graduates but you must have passed Steps I and II of USMLE and have your ECFMG certificate.

Deadlines

• Please refer to SFMatch for application deadline information.
• Fellowships generally run from July 1 to June 30 and decisions are usually made 6 months prior to the start of the fellowship.
• 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. Each program places 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.
