Matches on the map for 2026

A yearly tradition that comes on the heels of Match Day is presenting the updated map showing where our residents over the last five years attended medical school. The Carver College of Medicine produces a map showing where graduating medical students go for residency, and we also produce a map showing where our Internal Medicine residents go to fellowship. Those maps show what the University of Iowa can do for medical students and residents. The one below shows where our pitch lands for graduating medical students around the United States and beyond.

Each year when we update this Incoming Resident map to keep it at a rolling five-year representation, we prefer to remove fewer schools and add more to the previous year’s map. This year we have added three:

  • Columbia University
  • Creighton University
  • University of Tennessee

Seven schools—Dartmouth University, Florida State University, Mayo Clinic, University of Arizona, University of Toledo, Virginia Tech University, and West Virginia University—have been removed.
