Prerequisite Training/Selection Criteria

Candidates for the fellowship have, or will have, completed the minimum requirement of a three-year residency in internal medicine in an accredited program in the United States before the first day of training in our program. Foreign candidates must possess a valid green card or J-1 Visa, as well as an ECFMG certificate. All candidates must provide USMLE Scores to meet ACGME criteria.

We offer an equal opportunity selection process for all applicants who meet the minimum requirements as stated above. Complete applications submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) are reviewed by a selection committee. 

Interview Process

Interview invitations for our Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship Program will be extended through ERAS no later than mid-September. All interviews are conducted virtually to ensure accessibility and convenience for applicants. We will conduct 3-hour interview sessions in both morning and afternoon time slots. During the interview, candidates will meet with five of our distinguished faculty members, in addition to members of the program leadership team. In addition to faculty interviews, applicants will have the opportunity to meet with our current fellows in an informal setting. This allows candidates to ask questions and gain firsthand insight into the fellowship experience and program culture.

The interview day is designed to provide you with a clear picture of our training program and includes multiple opportunities to ask questions of our fellows, program leadership, and faculty. In the spirit of the fairness to all applicants, post-interview communications or second look visits will not impact an applicant’s ranking. On interview day, applicants will be provided contact information for program representatives for questions that arise after the interview. 

We request that applicants do not send routine thank you notes or emails. Such communications will not routinely receive a reply.

We offer 6 fellowship spots per year. While we preferentially review applications from those who signal our program, we also consider applicants who do not signal us. We currently accept all visas, dependent on governmental restrictions.
