Fellowships begin in July of each year. Our recruitment cycles will begin in July of the year prior to the fellowship start date. We only accept applications through Electronic Residency Application Services (ERAS).
Virtual recruitment
Thank you for your interest in a fellowship in Infectious Disease, and in our program in particular! In keeping with best interview practices developed over the past few years, we are planning to conduct our recruitment process through various means, which will include our website, videos, virtual interview days to include faculty and fellows, videoconferencing, and personal phone calls. We want to ensure that you get a good view of the many opportunities our program has to offer so encourage you to reach out with any questions. Our website is continually being updated, so please come back to see if there is any new information regularly. We will be accepting applications through ERAS and scheduling virtual interviews to start in September.
Our Interview days will consist of an introduction and program overview with our Program Director, attendance at our weekly conference, discussions with faculty and fellows and usually a LIVE virtual tour of our facilities with the Program Director. We have worked hard over the past few years to develop a process that will provide the best information to you in a reasonable amount of time. One of our fellows assessed this process and presented her findings at IDWeek!
We do not plan formal “in-person” interview days, but are happy to arrange a time to come for a “second look” after we have completed our interview process and “locked” our rank order list. These visit will have NO bearing on our selection process. We value a diverse community and hope our methods will help to promote and ensure an equitable process for all applicants. If you feel that you are not able to get enough information about the culture of our program, please reach out and we will do our best to help you get the information you need to make your decision.
