Requirements & Commitment

Third year medical students at the University of Iowa are invited to apply by downloading and completing our Externship Program Application. The externship is a year long commitment from March 1 through February 28. Twelve externs will be selected to allow for flexibility in coverage schedules while they rotate through their medical school clinical responsibilities and the fourth year interview season. Externs work hours include weekdays 5p-10p and weekends and holidays 9a-7p. Two chief externs will be elected who will coordinate the schedule to allow for 365 day coverage. The extern schedule will be available on the UIHC Smartweb call site (intranet).
