At the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, the medical education is bolstered by a variety of opportunities for research, hands-on learning, and extracurricular activities. All medical and physical assistant students are divided into four Learning Communities, which provide support and leadership opportunities. Students get clinical training at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, a top ranked teaching hospital, and will also take at least one clinical rotation to work with physicians in communities throughout Iowa.
Outside of class, there are more than 50 student organizations to get involved in, including the Military Healthcare Interest Group and vocal performance group the Major Grooves.

There are two medical fraternities, and students who join can live in coed fraternity housing. Other students can apply to live in the University Apartments, owned by the school, or can find off-campus housing throughout the Iowa City/Coralville area.
The University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine has graduated top researchers in many medical disciplines, including John Olney, a noted researcher in psychiatry, neuropathology, and neuropsychopharmacology; Jean Robillard, who is responsible for discoveries in fetal renal development; and Stanley James, who specializes in sports training and has worked with Michael Jordan, Pete Sampras, and Carl Lewis, among other famous athletes.
