About
the
Program
The
burn
fellowship
at
University
of
Iowa
Health
Care
Medical
Center
provides
an
exceptional
opportunity
for
an
in-depth
experience
in
the
management
of
the
entire
spectrum
of
care
surrounding
burns,
complex
wounds
in
a
critical
care
setting.
UI
Health
Care
is
Iowa’s
only
comprehensive
burn
center,
with
pediatric
and
adult
burn
and
wound
admissions
averaging
500
annually.
Our
burn
treatment
center
has
been
verified
by
the
American
Burn
Association
(ABA)
since
1996,
and
the
hospital
has
been
designated
by
the
American
College
of
Surgeons
as
a
Level
1
Trauma
Center
for
both
adult
and
pediatric
patients.
In
2021
our
program
became
the
first
ABA
accredited
fellowship
program.
Many
of
our
past
fellows
have
combined
the
one-year
burn
fellowship
with
an
additional
one-year
surgical
critical
care
fellowship.
This
comprehensive
program
offering
provides
our
fellows
with
the
training
to
sit
for
the
American
Board
of
Surgery
Examination
in
Surgical
Critical
Care.
Here
are
our
program
qualifications
For
the
burn
fellowship
Two
years
of
an
ACGME-accredited
general
or
plastic
surgery
residency.
We
also
encourage
international
graduates
with
general
or
plastic
surgical
training
to
apply.
For
the
surgical
care
fellowship
Three
years
of
an
ACGME-accredited
procedure-oriented
residency,
such
as
in
one
of
these
disciplines—General
Surgery,
Surgical
Subspecialties,
Anesthesia,
Obstetrics
and
Gynecology.
In
addition,
candidates
are
expected
to
be
certifiable
(or
already
be
certified)
by
the
American
board
of
their
specialty.
Here
are
our
further
considerations
for
the
burn
fellowship:
Ideal
burn
fellowship
candidates
will
have
completed
or
be
near
completion
of
an
ACGME
General
Surgery
or
Plastic
Surgery
residency
and
be
eligible
for
certification
by
the
American
Board
of
Surgery.
Applicants
interested
in
stepping
out
of
their
general
surgery
or
plastics
residency
are
reviewed
on
an
individual
basis,
and
must
have
completed
at
least
two
years
of
residency.
We
evaluate
international
graduates
on
an
individual
basis.
Individuals
with
J-1
and
H1b
visas
are
encouraged
to
apply.
