The University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine had 163 senior medical students participate in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) in 2025. Among this year’s graduates, 41 will remain in Iowa for their first year of postgraduate training, and 32 of these 41 students will train next year at UI Health Care.

Nearly 40% of this year’s cohort chose primary care specialties, which include family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. There were 23 matches in internal medicine, 17 in family medicine programs, 15 in pediatrics, and 8 in obstetrics and gynecology.

This year’s match results, including individual results by name, state, and specialty, are available at medicine.uiowa.edu/md/student-support/match-week.
