Interviews

After applications are thoroughly reviewed, qualified candidates will be contacted for a personal interview with members of the Division of Endocrinology.

Applicants typically visit on Thursdays, which allows them to attend one of the division's educational conferences. They will also spend time with faculty, have lunch with the fellows, and meet our Fellowship coordinator. There are opportunities to tour the main hospital campus and our outpatient clinic. The interview day typically runs from 8 a.m. through 3 p.m, but you will be given the itinerary prior to your interview day. In special instances, applicants may have the opportunity to meet potential research mentors and visit a lab.

Selection

Applicants are selected according to the timelines set by the NRMP. We rank and/or select from eligible applicants based on a combination of their medical school transcript, Dean's letter, letters of reference, USMLE scores, and their overall interview.

Appointments are for one year beginning July 8. All fellowship candidates must have completed and passed their Step 3 examination before entering fellowship.
